    Baby A always feels more active to me. We've had several ultrasounds and everything looks fine. I just chalk it up to different personalities. Baby A is the mover and shaker (kicking my cervix constantly too!) and Baby B is more relaxed--although B is usually the one to put a lot of pressure on my ribs!

    Baby A (on my right) was the first baby that I felt move, and he;s always been more active. However, Baby B has been trying his best to catch u[ and has gotten quite active in the last few weeks. I asked my doctor about it bc, like you, I was concerned. But he said it had to do with the postion of my placenta, it is more on my left, and Baby B hides behind it. He is moving just as much but he is in a different position that makes its more difficult to feel. Maybe this could be whats happening to you.... That and as pp said, it could be a difference in personalities.... good luck with everything

    I've always felt Riley (baby b ) more than Reese (baby a). It's only been recently that I've felt Reese move more and when we do an u/s, it's always him that's kicking his brother.

    You're still in that stage where feeling movement is pretty new. In the next few weeks, you should be able to tell which one is moving and tell the difference between them.

    I've been feeling "A" more than "B" also. At our last U/S, I asked them why I felt A more than B, they said it could just be the way they're sitting, sometimes it's because one could be sleeping, while the other's playing etc. - they U/S tech wasn't real sure, but said both looked good and not to worry -(easy for them to say huh?)

    I have had the SAME worries. A was so much more active in the beginning. Now A is still more active, I'm just used to it now. I pay attention to B's movements when they happen more... and can tend to ignore A's movements.... just because I'm used to them. BUT I've heard that it can depend on where the babies are in relation to your placenta.

    I always felt A more than B. At one point (33 weeks) i didnt feel B for 24 hours and i was panicking so i went into hospital and asked them to check. everything was fine. They said to come back anytime i was worried (NICE!!!!)

    Baby B was born smaller than A. BUT all through their life so far baby B is far far far more active than A. Infact A tends to follow B. B is fearless and non stop active. So it had nothing to do with how they were in utero.

    Sometimes i used to sit down and just focus on feeling B and then i would feel him more.

    I felt the one on my left a lot more, and then there was the time I thought I wasn't feeling the one on my right. Peyton had managed to squish Eli down to the left corner and turn his body so his stomach was facing my back and had his legs by the leftside of my ribs. So when I was feeling movement there it was both of them kicking each other. I don't know how it happened, but it did! So maybe your little ones are playing a trick on you like mine were! lol

    I can sympathize because I always feel baby b more than baby a. I think its because baby a is low in my cervix and I don't notice it as much. Its perfectly normal!

    I am almost 21 weeks and I can feel movement every day now, but I can't tell which baby is moving or if they are both moving. I can only detect movement versus no movement, that's it. I know they've both looked great and exactly the same as far as development at every doctor's apt, so I'm not worried about it. I wonder if one day I will be able to tell which one is moving or if they are both moving, etc. I hope I will be able to one day!

    I am getting to the end and they still seem to be switching back and forth. Since the first movements they go through stages of one being more active than the other. I had been concerened recently with no regular movements from B but found out and my NST and u/s recently that he is moving and grooving in there just fine. It all depends on how they are positioned.

    I feel baby a move more than baby B. I know that its her (baby B ) placement. She (now breach <_< ) has always been turned inwards toward her brother (baby A)..
