Movement


Twin A is very active almost all the time..I can feel him moving, and can feel him from the outside now too..But, twin b is very mellow..I feel him maybe once or twice a day..Does this sound normal? Even in the ultrasounds we have had, A could not sit still, and B was not moving much..Thoughts??

Also, I have strained some muscles from coughing..I cannot kick this cough I have..yesterday, I coughed really hard, and all across the bottom of my belly, I felt the muscles strain..I am on cough meds, but this just needs to heal or I am in trouble!

My girl moves a lot more than my boy. Her feet are right next to his head so he gets kicked by her all the time.

Fynn was in front of Sam for ages so I could hardly feel Sam but now they are side by side so its more even. My sisters girl moved a lot more than her boy all the way through and still does at three years old lol

My ultrasound was like that! Twin 2 was very placid and twin 1 was buzzing around liked it had had too much coke!
Wonder if that will follow them through the years?
Also i am having the same thing with the straining muscles, mine almost hurt whenever i cough, sneeze or do a big yawn! Really worries me so i'm glad i'm not alone.

How is it that you all know which twin is which??? So far mine have swapped places at least three times, ie T1 is the left one, then the right one, then left again....I just call them lefty and righty.
I'm glad other people have a more fidgety twin though, lefty is definately mine unless they've moved from breech position that is!

Mine are double deckering, so on top of each other, twin 1 is the lowest one and called twin 1 beacuse it will be delivered first and twin 2 is on top! I also was confused cause thought they would swap around but apprantely not, they can't swap over. xx

Ok..Good to know..Thanks ladies! I think as far as the stretching goes, I am going to stay down for a few days and see if I can heal it. I cannot imagine being huge and having that hurt..not something I want..
