1st time Mom's of twins when did you feel movement?

bellestar922 · October 2010

i am 19 weeks 1d and still don't think i have felt movement. Is this normal? could something be wrong?

Haven1 · October 2010

It's totally normal. It could be any number of things from you not knowing what you're feeling to your body composition to them being positioned in a spot that's not very feel-able. You'll feel them soon, I'm sure. Good luck!

I think it was right around 18 or 19 weeks that I first felt them. It all has to do with where they are, where your placentas are positioned, etc. Have you had your "big" u/s yet?

I didn't feel my first "kicks" until about 23 weeks. I felt "flutters" before then but nothing significant. As I've never been pregnant before, I actually didn't know that those "flutters" were the babies moving until my dr told me lol

I did not feel actual movement until 22/23 weeks

It might take awhile, so be prepared. I think mine took about an hour and a half. Just a bunch of measuring to see how everything looks. Hopefully the LOs will cooperate and give you a shot of the goods (if you want to see them, that is!). It's a good thing we were going to find out because as soon as the tech put the u/s probe on Baby A, he flashed his boy parts! I knew as soon as we saw him that he was a boy!

I don't think I have felt flutters either... I guess I'm just all nerves... I was sick for the first 4 months all day everyday and now that I feel better I feel like something is wrong.

As for the US, we are going to find out what they are!

I thought i did at 19 weeks, it was honestly just gas and bowel issues. I for sure began at the beginning of last week (21) and now at 22, i think i have mini-soccer players in my belly. At our last u/s they were kicking each other the whole time (but I couldnt feel it) so I think they are pretty active but I just cant always feel it yet.

It was late for me too. I'm bad at remembering what happened at what week, but it was after 20 weeks. Looking back, I think I felt some flutters and didn't realize until later it was the baby. But it was after 20 weeks that I really felt the babies.

I began feeling flutters around 13 weeks. I didn't feel my first kick until 17 weeks, but even then it was very sporadic. I don't think I felt regular movement until around 23/24 weeks.

smeyer · October 2010

I started feeling sporadic movement around 17 or 18 wks. What really helped to drive the point home was my big u/s. I thought I felt them earlier but I was positive when I saw them kicking during my u/s and I could feel the movement. Hopefully you'll have the same thing happen! And don't worry if you don't feel movement until 20+ wks - that's totally normal, too!

i didn't feel my girls until around the end of my 19th week i'm sure i felt movement before then i just wasn't sure. but not too much longer!! around 30-35 weeks was the best time for movement in my case i loved it i used to lay in bed all day and just play with them and such it was awesome:) i was on bed rest from 32 weeks on so it was nice to have them to brighten my day:) good luck!

I felt mine for the first time at about 20 weeks. (I was also worried at 19 weeks that I wasn't feeling anything!). For me, it doesn't feel like flutters or bubbles, but like little pokes.
