Feeling only one twin

HoneyBeeMel

My babies have been in a "bunk-bed" position since the beginning with Baby A laying across the bottom of my stomach and baby B above my belly button. For the past 2 or 3 days I have only felt movement really low. I know I am so early and the babies could have moved (I felt someone flop this past weekend) but I worry a lot and not sure if this warrants a call to the DR. WWYD?

I am no expert but I can share my experience so far. The past few weeks at my bi weekly ultrasounds both babies have been head down with A lower on my left and B a little higher on my right. I usually feel movement higher on my right side and lower in the middle. So I'm never really sure which baby I am feeling and always think it's just baby b! I have a doctors appointment today and I'm going to ask when I should start monitoring movement and if I should even expect to know which baby I'm feeling. Since they still have room to move around I feel like they could be changing positions and it's not for sure always 1 baby or the other I am feeling. So far I haven't let it worry me or freak me out (so easy to do!). I think once they are bigger and have less room to move we'll be feeling each babies movement more distinctly. GL! I can update after my appointment if you'd like.

Thanks! Yes, let me know after your appointment pleeassse. My next appointment is not until May 10th, which seems so far away at this point.

Mine moved around so much and I thought i was just feeling one, but I was really feeling them both.  They are now healthy one month olds

I have the exact same thing.  I can feel Baby A way more than Baby B.  If I just put my hand on my stomach where Baby B is, she will kick a bit.  Baby A doesn't need any encouragement.  In fact, he's been kicking me for the last 10 minutes.

Mine move around and the past few days I thought I was feeling only one of them until I used the doppler and they are literally right next to each other so what I thought was one baby is actually two lol.

Ok- asked my doctor today and she said just what OP are saying- at this point it's most likely I can't tell which baby I'm for sure feeling. And while one might be kicking alot the other might be punching alot. Hard to tell. She said if I feel like I haven't felt them in awhile eat/drink something and then wait for some movement. When I asked if there would be a point in time where I would be able to tell who is moving she said yes- when they are bigger and can't switch positions as much. Hope this helps!

I had one anterior and one posterior placenta. It definitely made it harder to feel both babies. Don't worry, they will totally kick the heck out of you in a few weeks. There's nothing quite like the feeling of being kicked simultaneously in the bladder and the ribs.
