What does being pregnant with twins feel like

If you've had a single pregnancy before, is there a lot more movement? How does the shape of your stomach differ, do you see the babies body more defined through the stomach?

I was bigger very quickly - at 8 weeks my then 2.5 yr old asked what had happened to my tummy. Rest of the pregnancy felt much the same as with one, but more uncomfortable towards the end. I found it harder to check for movement as I wasn't always sure which baby was kicking. Ended up going for monitoring twice a week for the last few weeks to check for both heartbeats.

After 3 singletons I was surprised at how different it was. I was showing a bump from 7 ish wks the exhaustion was crippling and I had ms with them. All my singletons were straightforward pregnancies and I worked until late each time. Luckily I wasn't working through the twin pregnancy but I still hit a brick wall around 28ish wks and never got over it. Towards the end I drove my son to nursery every day, normally a 2 minute walk, but I just couldn't get up the hill.
You have to listen to what your body is telling you and if it says stop or slow down, do it. Feeling movements was exceptionally difficult they were both head down next to each other and I had an anterior placenta.
