When did you feel them move?

mrsrichey11 · August 2014

Hello everyone! I've been replying to the pregnancy updates, but I think this is my first actual post *waves* hiii!

Most of my info is in my siggy!

I'm 19w1d with my twins and am wondering when you felt yours move? Or even the little "bubble" feeling I've heard about? I freak myself out a lot at night because I have been waking up throughout the night laying on my stomach (we have a memory foam bed, and its surprisingly comfortable to sleep on my stomach right now) or on my right side, which I have read is not the "safest" and I guess the fact that I haven't felt anything yet makes me nervous and I feel like I'm squishing them (which is another ridiculous thing to be concerned about). Its a stupid thing to be nervous about right now, but it took so long to even get these babies in me that every little thing kind of freaks me out.

Sorry about the ramble =]

I did not start feeling movement (or what I contributed to them moving) until the middle of week 19. These are not my first so I was thinking I'd feel them earlier.

Depends where your placenta is. I have an anterior placenta on both. Thought I felt movement around 22w but now that I'm 28.5w and getting really kicked now think that might've been gas lol.

I also have anterior placentas and didn't feel movement until 2 weeks ago at 24 weeks. I wasn't sure what it was at first :-)

Well I'm not much help because I felt them pretty early even with anterior placentas, but I felt DD very early too. That being said, I really wouldn't worry about not feeling them yet or sleeping on your stomach or right side. Your body will tell you when you need to stop doing that.

How/when do you find out if you have anterior/posterior placentas?

I was 22 weeks before I felt anything. That was around the same time as my singletons too.

They told me at the NT scan at 12 weeks.

I'm 15w5d and feeling movement now. Best feelings ever, for now... Lol.

I found out at my first MFM appt with an u/s at 12 wks. Otherwise it would've been at the a/s at 20 wks.

Thanks ladies! You have put my mind at ease! For now...

I'll have to ask at my next ultrasound if they don't tell me how the placentas are positioned!

APRILMW · August 2014

I started feeling flutters/small infrequent movements middle of 17th week. Just in last few days (I'll be 20wks tomorrow) have they been good sized kicks etc! And, just started feeling kicks from outside belly!

At my 16 week appt the other day Baby A was moving all around in there, but I haven't felt anything yet.

Honestly I was 22-23 weeks before I felt much of anything that could definitely be attributed to baby movements. Even now at 27w3d they aren't super active. I'm not sure if it has to do with their positioning (they're both breech and like to face toward each other) or what, but try not to worry.

I know, easier said than done.

ETA: I don't have a lot of extra padding, so I thought I would feel them sooner. Someone mentioned to me that being long waisted sometimes makes feeling them harder (which I am). Not sure if that is true or not though.
