Hi lovelies!

I am 15+2 weeks with twins! Was just wondering when you all first felt your babies move?

Twins will be my 4th and 5th babies so nothing new to me but with my first I was about 17 weeks feeling flutters. 2nd I was 15 weeks and I think with my 3rd I was again 15 weeks.

I know is still early to be feeling anything, but thought since there is two in there I would be able to feel little flutters by now🫣

Hi
Twin mum here- I didn't feel movement until around 19 weeks. Also one twin was facing away the entire pregnancy so I struggled to feel him much at all unless he poked his bum upwards! (Lots of trips upto hospital for reassurance checks!)
As they get bigger and get less room you'll start to know who is where and an idea of what position they're in as they fight for room!

Much later than with my singleton, who I felt about 15w. One of mine had an anterior placenta and I didn't reliably know it was her moving until after about 20odd weeks, the posterior placenta baby was breech so that felt different too.

My first set of twin In July and I think it was about 20-22 weeks I started feeling them a lot but the odd twinge started around 18-19weeks

Hi I can't recall exactly when I felt my twins move, but I do remember getting worried and frustrated because it was way later than with my previous ( singleton) pregnancy. All was fine though!

I think my timings were about the same.
