I hate to do it ... but when did you first feel them have strong movements? Not the little flutters .. the actual kicks!

    The twins were also my second pregnancy so I knew what it felt like which helps.

    I actually have been wondering the same thing. I THINK I feel them but still not really sure what I am feeling sometimes if I pay attention.
    I can't wait to feel them kick instead of the little flutters.

    people keep asking me if I am feeling them more and I just don't know what to say sometimes.  I have no idea since they are our firsts. And people assume that since it is twins that I should be feeling them more than a singleton.
    I'll just be happy to see them at our a/s next week to make sure they are moving around ok in there :)

    I can tell you that we had an u/s last week (19weeks) and our babies are SO active they do not stay still ... and I still can't feel them.  Don't know if that helps :)

    yes it does....thanks :)
    I had my DH use the doppler last night just so I could hear them and confirm that things were still ok.
    It's nerve recking sometimes just having faith but we definitely have faith that we will have two healthy babies in March :)
    Same for you as well .

    FTM and I started feeling little taps at 17 w 4 d - I never felt flutters, just went from nothing to light taps. Now I get taps and kicks, and stuff that feels like tugs, especially around my belly button :S Feels gross. 

    ETA - Just checked my diary -

    I wrote this at 15.6: Movement: Not really? I feel like I feel stuff? not sure!
    And this at 16.5: Movement: YES!!! Feeling light tapping when I lay really still!

    This is my 3rd pregnancy. I've felt light taps and flutters for many weeks but I got my first real kicks around 20w. I was finally able to feel from the outside a few nights ago. This is later than w my singletons.
