    I'm not sure if im just nuts or what so i thought i would ask more experienced ladies with twins. When do you start feeling the twins move???? I am only 11 weeks but SWEAR that i can feel a flutter of movement every now and again i would say its gas but it feels nothing like gas. I know they are still really little but is it even possible to feel because it is two and they take up more room than one? With my son i started feeling him at 14 weeks and it was like one or two flutters every 3-4 days till about 18 weeks then i could feel him a lot and even started feeling him hiccup which got really annoying lol. So i was just hoping for some stories of other mommies with twins or other pregnant ladies with twins. when did you start feeling movement? :babyflips:

    i didn't feel movement until 21 weeks. i also had an anterior placenta though which cushions a lot of movement. i'm not sure what the earliest you can feel a baby move though.

    I felt little flutters around 14 weeks. I didn't feel them all the time until about 18 weeks.

    I felt them for sure around 19-20 weeks, which was actually later than with my single pregnancies. I have an anterior placenta also, so that could be a factor.

    I felt my girls at 11 weeks. - it felt the exact same as you are describing! With this singleton, I have felt the flutters for maybe 3 weeks but not much else and not as often and I will be 17 weeks tomorrow!

    You might be feeling SOME movement now and just dont realize it. It kind of feels like gas bubble, or a feather lightly brushing you from the inside out.


    As for when I started feeling the boys, I was about 14-15 weeks. By 20 weeks or so it was like a boxing matching going on inside

    yeah I also swear I felt mine at about 12 weeks! Very faint little flutters, like a muscle barely twitching so anythings possible! And yeah just wait! Like slipper said they start having wrestling matches later on! I'm 26 weeks now and ohhhh geesh! I had a NST yest and all they did was kick and hit the monitors! My husband really got to hear what's going on in there! Oh and I started wearing a support belt at about 20 wks andthey also kicked that, I don't think they like anything that makes their world smaller! Lol

    18 weeks for me, but then a couple of weeks to feel them reliably.

    You're not nuts :), I started feeling mine at 13 weeks, everyone thought I was nuts also - of course, only people that had singletons said that.

    yeah early on I would only feel them, if I had just eaten and was sitting down and calm, if I was moving around or not concentrating on it I wouldn't notice. But it's funny in just a few weeks you will be sooo sure of what you are feeling!

    I felt occasional flutters around 14 weeks or so. By the time I was about 18 to 20 weeks I could consistently feel them. :)

    I am 20weeks 4days, and I felt lots of flutters when I was 14-16weeks and then just the occasional one. I was a bit concerned, but my doctor said just wait till you hit 20weeks...and sure enough, almost to the day, on Monday, i started feeling a lot more movement and it has continued! :)
