Movement between twins?

moms of twins, is it typical to have one twin be way more active than the other? I have an anterior placenta as well so wondering if it is centered more over the one twin- but I can feel the left side baby a LOT and the right side baby I only feel a few times a day. Just curious! They both looked healthy and growing at a similar pace at our last appt.

Re: Movement between twins?

  • I have one anterior placenta and definitely notice one moving more than the other. I just pay close attention everyday to be sure they are both moving around.

  • I have two anterior placentas which has made feeling the movement a challenge at times.  For the last couple of weeks I feel my little girl on the right (who is also breech) much more than my little boy on the left during the day.  During one night of struggling with insomnia I realized that my little boy is just up more at night whereas the girl is up during the day...

  • I'm only 20 weeks and can only feel baby A at this point (I think)....I have an anterior placenta with baby B.
  • Both placentas were anterior for me. I could feel A move first and after a couple of weeks B would move a lot more that A. She was transverse right above my belly button though, so she was kind of positioned in a way where I could feel every little movement she made

    I had anterior placentas too, some days Baby A was moving a lot and I'd worry about Baby B. The next day, Baby B moved so much. I then noticed Baby A would move a lot during the day and Baby B was more active at night. Now that they're born - it's been the same, Baby A is wide awake most of the day and Baby B sleeps a lot.
