    Not that I think I'm feeling anything - but I was just curious when I should start trying to be aware of things. I would think that with twins, maybe movement can be felt a little sooner?

    Just curious...when did you first feel movement with your twins?

    At about 14-15 weeks I felt really little flutters. You do feel it earlier with twins. My hubby couldn't feel or see them move until almost 20 weeks-by then I was REALLY feeling them move. Baby B (Alex) was my wild child in utero- he NEVER stopped moving. And today at 6 years old he still has that personality-he's a little mover and shaker. Griffin (Baby A) was very mellow in utero and he is still that way. I LOVED when they were in my belly- I cried that first night after I had them- partlt due to that they were preemies and in the NICU and really because I missed feeling them move. Enjoy the pregnancy!!!!! Good luck!!!

    Well I don’t know if I felt it sooner or I just knew what to look for as it was my second pregnancy… but I think it was 12 w I could feel flutters…But it was 18-19 w I could feel kicks regularly... I will add the movement now can get painful and I never had that with my son…

    I did not feel anything until 21 weeks. When I asked the radiologist (who did my sono) she said that I have a good fluid cushion, so, I might not feel as much. But in a few weeks, I should feel them more. My doctor said the same thing too. I guess, it also depends on how your babies are placed.

    I felt kicks around 16 weeks, but it was my second pregnancy. I'm not sure twins would have anything to do with feeling anything earlier.

    This is my first pregnancy, and at about 14 weeks I felt one time little butterfly feeling for like about a minute. Then nothing until about 17-18 weeks when I started feeling little kicks. It's so much fun. I love the feeling of them moving!

    With my twins I felt movement at 20 weeks, 1 day. (for sure) This pregnancy I started feeling him at about 18 weeks. I'm overweight and with the twins I had a placenta anterior (front), so I had to feel movement through that.

    With my twins (first pregnancy), I didn't know what to really look for, so I didn't recognize movement with them until I was 19 weeks ago...full blown kicking by 22 weeks.

    With my singleton (2nd pregnancy), I felt small, small flutters at 11 weeks (but this time I knew what to expect) and felt regular movement from around 18-20 weeks on.

    About 14 weeks for me but this was my second pregnancy so I knew what I was looking for. They did not become consistent until more like 20 weeks or so.

    I started feeling flutters a few days ago but I wouldn't have known what they were had it not been for other people describing it to me - and then I felt that. It's pretty neat. I only feel it a little tiny bit here and there - not daily, but almost.

    I can't actually remember the exact week of the flutters (15 or 16 weeks probably), but I felt the first kicks at about 19 weeks.

    Around 14 weeks or so I noticed strange flutters of movement. The twins were my first pregnancy and the doctor had told me not to expect to feel the "baby" until around 18-20 weeks. I could also lay gently on my tummy and feel the "baby" move too. We found out the "baby" was twins at almost 20 weeks.

    Same with me :) Feeling them move is the coolest thing, and what I miss most about being pregnant!!
