    I'm almost 21 weeks now and I can finally feel the boys moving around in there!! Everyone kept telling me it felt like butterflies or something, but I must have missed the early ones, because these feel pretty significant.

    One of my good friends is pregnant with a singleton and felt hers move for the first time around 14 weeks, so I was a little jealous... This is totally the neatest thing about being pregnant so far. DH even got to feel them once or twice.

    Just wanted to share my excitement! :banana:

    I started feeling my two last week. At first it was only when I laid down on my back to go to sleep and i had to really concentrate. LOL. Now I feel them wiggling around in there every time I sit down! I love it cuz It finally feels real....even though I got the tummy it reminds you there are living beings in there....I wonder if they kick each other and if it hurts?? I bet my girl is giving her brother a nice beating!

    My husband son love to feel the babies move! My son talks to them every night and reminds them that he is their big brother!

    Loving it!

    Yep I am 22 weeks and last week began feeling little kicks all over a lot, and friday night felt the first big kick that actually scared me! Now I feel hard kicks, can see my tummy move as well as other people. Its cool!!! Plus one baby is head down and one is head up so I feel them everywhere!

    That's exciting! I haven't felt anything yet--or nothing that I was sure was baby and not a muscle twitch or gas bubbles ;). I can't wait!

    Yeah! Feeling them move really is cool! My wife was excited when she first started feeling ours move, and it still makes her happy every time they kick! I had to wait a bit longer before I could feel them… I'm convinced that the twins new when I had my hands on the belly and were holding as still as possible just to frustrate me.

    I watched the Ultrasound tech do that once to get them to move to a better position... since then I'v tried the same thing. As long as they are already active it seems to get a response! Very cool to think that you can already interact with them.

    YAY!! Congrats! i was sitting here just thinking how cool it is that my babies have been so active today...then I read your post! I'm right there with you! I felt mine a little after 19wks, then not much until 22wks..then stopped again for a week, other ladies here suggested they changed positions...which must be what happened, now at 24wks they are pretty active and in a different place! haha!@

    I tried to explain what they felt like to my husband, and the best way I could explain those early movements was like a muscle twitch...in eye or leg...hahaha

    best of luck to you!!

    Started feeling mine around the 14th week. Now, they NEVER sit still. Their favorite thing is when their big brother comes and talks to them, they kick extra hard!

    My hubby is still alittle taken back, he will sit there and watch my belly in amazement and slight horror at the BIG kicks. To me, its nothing short of amazing.
