Heavy kicker vs. light kicker

Hi ladies!
So I have been counting kicks and I was wondering if any of you had trouble counting kicks for one twin versus the other. I am having fraternal b/g twins and the boy (who is in front of the placenta) is a rough kicker and I can feel him all the time. As for her, she is behind the placenta so I feel very light kicks...which makes it seem she is less active than him. Has anyone else experienced this? I am currently 25 weeks and this is my first pregnancy

Thanks!!!!!

 

Jessy was above my belly button and jazz was below (transverse). It always seemed jessy was less active but she wasnt always

 

If she's behind her placenta, the placenta is acting like a pillow and cushioning her movements. It's to be expected that you would feel less from her - that doesn't mean she's moving less though! I had one giant anterior placenta with my girls and didn't feel first movements until 21 weeks and it was intermittent for a few weeks after that. I was nearly in my 3rd tri before I had strong, consistent movement.

 

My daughter was low and I could hardly feel her moving.  Her brother was spread out at the top (transverse) and could feel him all the time.  I think he had her squished at the bottom with no room.  She still sleeps curled in a little ball and he sleeps all spread out.

 

I don't remember the placenta placement with my twins.  I do remember that my Twin A was generally less active than Twin B.  Now at 8 years old, the more active baby is definitely my more active child!  He still can't just sit still! 

 

I had the same situation - b/g twins, Max was placed with his legs and arms towards my belly so I was able to feel him all the time, and Vanessa was placed with her back towards my belly and her feet and arms towards my spine - so I was barely able to feel her. At some point I was getting worried, but she was fine. In my experience, they are both just as active now and I think they were that way in utero - I just didn't feel Vanessa because of her position. She seemed very active at all ultrasounds. Try not to stress over it too much. If I was getting worried about her not moving for a long time, I used to drink a lot of water and lay on the left side - she was on the left and then I would feel some faint movement so I knew she was fine - but I was not counting kicks/hour.
 
I was getting worried at times because Max was so active and she was the opposite, if I didn't have the term of comparison - right there in my belly, I probably would have been more relaxed about it. Everything is fine with my kids and I am sure your DD is fine also .
 
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
