Can you tell which twin is moving

When you feel your twins move, are you able to tell which one it is? I can feel mine moving a lot, but I cant tell the difference.

I could never really tell the difference. I ended up at the assessment unit multiple times because I couldn't distinguish between them and if one was moving less than normal. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear, but I wouldn't worry too much if you can never tell them apart.

Not really, even though they've generally been positioned 1 on left 1 on right for a while now. I've felt most movements on the right. I think the one on the left must be turned toward the right so his legs/arm movements are felt more that side. I'm 30 weeks

I couldn’t really, unless it was scan day and they specifically told me which twin was where and where the legs were, but then they would move again and I would have no idea.

I'm 27 weeks and am finding it difficult too, as one is head-down on the right, but the other is transverse across left-right with his feet at the same place as the other! So similar to @Glitterbug86
So I feel the most movement in that one spot without knowing who is kicking me. I just try to pay attention to when either of them punch/roll in other areas of my body too, as then it's more obvious who is who.
I'm going to ask at my next appointment for any tips though.

Yes but I had one crazy busy and one calm but strong. They were just the same when they were born🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️
