Babies movement

Kjg1313

Hi everyone, I'm 26 weeks pregnant with twins and I barely feel them move, I have to really stay still and concentrate to feel them occasionally. I am not worried or anything as everything has been going well, i am a ftm and was just wondering if multiples move less due to there being less room in there for them or does it just depend on the mom And babies?

Do you know where your placentas are? With multiples you are more likely to have anterior placentas which decrease the movement you feel.

FTM here, so I don't know if it depends on the mom & babies, but I do know placement of the placentas matter, like Jenstwins said.  What does your OB say?  Glad you aren't worried about it  If it makes you feel better my baby A's feet can reach my ribs now and loves kicking them.  And baby B's toes tickle my bladder...

Another reason could be babies position...my A I feel kick hard and constant. B I barely feel as his feet/hands are turned inward so I only occasionally feel a nudging type feeling from his back....on u/s he is actually the more active one which seems so strange since I never feel it!

I have not felt mine yet, I know baby A has an anterior placenta and B has a posterior so they have surrounded themselves! I have a home doppler that I will use to ease my anxiety.

That's exactly how mine are and they were both facing in as of a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure baby b moved toward the outside bc this week I can feel him like crazy. I feel baby a, too, but only way down low and not on the outside.

Thank you for all of your responses. My OB hasn't mentioned anything about how the placenters are postitioned so I'll be sure to ask next week at my app
