Do you [think you] feel one twin more than the other?

    My BFF said she always felt one twin more than the other and they even had to do a tests to make sure Baby B was okay. I think I am feeling one baby more than the other. Either that or they are now both transverse with their heads and feet in idential positions. I feel more movement on one side more than the other ALL the time. Of course, my mind thinks the worse and can't wait for my next ultrasound.

    Can anyone ease my mind any?

    I TOTALLY feel one bay more than the other! Sometimes I think one may just may be more hyper than the other?
    I was thinking the same as you a few days ago- you wonder what those little buggers are doing in there :)

    I feel baby B way more. Both babies are head down, but baby B is higher up, so I think that might be why I feel her more. When asked to do my kick counts the nurses said not to worry about tracking both babies, as along as I'm feeling a certain amount of movement.

    I used to think I felt Ruby more than Scarlet, but now Scarlet has some kind of body part pushing my ovary into my hip bone (at least that's what it feels like) and so now I feel them equally. Maybe it's because they are bigger now and I can kinda tell where each one is. Does that make sense?

    I can feel BabyB alot more than BabyA. But BabyB is transverse and really high up. Sometimes I worry about BabyA but then he will give me a swift kick to the cervix (he's breech) and I don't worry about him anymore. ^_^

    My baby B was so so much busier than baby A!! And, now that they are 6 wks old, I can tell you that their personalities are the same on the outside! Baby B is much more active and needier than his brother is! Baby A justs eats and sleeps! :rolleyes:

    I definetly could feeb my baby B a lot more. For the last 10 weeks(28-38 weeks), I could barely feel baby A. Katleyn(baby A) was head down and at 0 station from that point on with Jessica(baby B) alternating between vertex and transverse. Jessica had tons of space and Katelyn was cramped with her little legs held close to her body. It took weeks for her legs to stretch out and she looks so much shorter than Jessica in early pics even though she was longer. Positioning can make such a difference.

    That's exactly my situation also!

    My baby b had extra fluid and I rarely felt him at all just a time or two a day, while baby a was all over the place. Of course now that they are here baby b, Mason, is very mellow and sleeps all the time and baby a. Logan, never stops moving :)

    My Twin B was never moving only when I'd roll onto my side at night and she got squished. Twin A was moving all the time. My twin B turned out to be the plump one, she was just saving all her energies and getting fat. Trust me I probably felt her once or twice a day.

    Baby b moved constantly. I next to never felt baby a. I had an anterior placenta blocking the way. Now Baby a is a jumping bean baby b stays kind of calm.

    TOTALLY. My ds often was facing DD and he kicked her instead of me so I rarely felt him.

    I always felt Arjun move and hardly ever felt Indira. It use to worry me alot but I just went with my gut feeling, if I didn't feel them move, I went in and was checked out. I felt better having a peace of mind. Call the ob and tell them what you think and they will instruct you from there.

    It always seemed like I felt baby A and not B for a long time. My Dr said B could have been turned in toward A and kicking her or turned toward my back or insides (can't remember now which she said), which I guess you don't feel as much. I was worried the whole time, because I somehow thought I "knew" baby A more and wouldn't have as strong a connection with B....crazy pregnant momma worry...it didn't matter at all once they were out! :D

    I have been feeling the boy more than the girl. However, I have heard that you are never sure which baby is kicking as they can be very close together.

    B a lot more than A. My girl was head down on the side and my boy was basically with his butt on her head and his head between my ribs ... it was hard to ignore.

    B is always moving more - my baby b is transverse up top and I think she has more room - a is usually silent.

    I used to feel A more than B but that was because B has an anterior placenta. Now, I feel them both. Sometimes I think I feel one more than the other, ut they switch from day to day!
