Whiney...Why can't I feel them yet!?

I can't believe I can't feel them moving yet! When I had my elective on Monday the tech kept saying "I can't believe you don't feel them!" She said it over and over. She pushed on my belly a couple of times with her finger and I could actually see where her finger was moving the babies in my womb. They are up slightly above my belly button now, which is wild!
I keep telling myself, "any day now."
I'm so impatient, though! I was listening to them on the doppler tonight and I could tell by the way their heartbeats were fading in and out when I held the probe perfectly still that they were moving like crazy. I'm just so bummed I can't feel them yet.
Anyone else in the same boat??

Re: Whiney...Why can't I feel them yet!?
You are ALMOST there to feel movement. Eat something sweet and laydown on your back in the evening. That worked with #1. When I sit in the jet tub for a bit I notice the new baby flutter after I turn jets off.
I think you may just have a strong ute that hasn't expanded to the size of a watermelon yet. I can't wait for you to feel those babies!!!
I thought I felt one a couple days ago, but now I don't know. I havent felt any butterfly or bubbles type movement. I'm almost 18 weeks (with twins as you know) and I'm getting antsy too!
I figure if I'm just starting to get a belly, I'd like to think there is something in there that I can feel too!

I'm in the exact same boat. It seems like everyone is saying that they are feeling their baby/babies move. I can't wait to feel him/her move. I started asked baby a few days before xmas to kick me as hard for an xmas present...but it didn't happen.
I noticed the same thing on my doppler...the heartbeat would fade in and out and I would have to chase it down. From one day to the next, baby did a complete flip flop from side to side and I only know this bc the heartbeat was at the complete opposite side of my stomach. It's so crazy to think that there is something as long as my hand doing somersaults in my stomach and I don't even know it.
Hopefully soon ;-)
Do you know if they are to the front or back of your uterus? I can feel one much more often, and the anterior one only a maybe thump a couple times. It's also hard to always recognize it, which is easier after the fact. You'll be feeling them soon, good luck!
Don't worry, you are getting closer to feeling them. Alot of the times women who say they "feel" baby, as early as 13 weeks only feel the flutter/bubble feeling. For all you know, feelings down in your stomach might be your babies.
I felt the bubble sensation with DD around 16-17 weeks. But, it wasn't until 21ish weeks I actually felt thumps. I had the exact thing happen to me with DD. I Had gone into L&D around 20 weeks due to preterm labor. They put the monitor on me and she kept thumping it and nurse looked at me at disbelief that I couldn't feel that movement.

I was able to really feel this one when I drank a ton of ice cold water and leaned forward, essentially cutting into their space. As soon as I did that, I was getting kicks and rolls to the point that not only could I see my stomach move, but DH could feel them.
I hope you feel them soon, its such a cool feeling!

Same here, but I didn't feel #1 until 23 weeks, and nothing yet here either!
When I was pregnant with #1 I had my 20 week u/s and the tech said something similar. She just said, "you can't feel that?" (in reference to all the movement LO was doing), and I just said, "no, should i?!". It was about a week later that I felt it.
Don't worry! You'll feel it and you'll feel it soon! And before you know it you'll be begging them to get their knees out of your ribs or their elbows off your pelvis
I am in the same boat! I figured with twins I would feel them by now but nothing.
I don't have a doplar so I have to wait till every appointment to see them. At night I try and push them around to see if I feel anything but nothing. I am hoping soon. I am getting impatient.
I go for my A/S in a couple weeks so I am hoping by then I will feel something.
Good Luck to you!
