later fetal movement with twins?

Question

Hoping for a little reassurance, I'm currently 19 weeks with twins and although I'm feeling 1 or 2 tiny little wiggles a day and have done size 16 weeks I'm not feeling any kicking yet which I was with each of my singletons.
All google tells me is that you normally feel movement earlier in multiple pregnancies but not what kind of movement!!
All I want is to feel them kicking always so I know they are both ok in there! 
Anyone else go through this?

Answer

Thank you for all the replies, it has put my mind at rest so I will try and stop worrying for another few weeks at least!! X

Answer

Don't freak out.  There could be many reasons for this. The biggest would be if you have anterior placentas. If your placentas are up front you will feel significantly less movement overall. You should be told this at your 20 week anatomy scan, if not ask.

I started feeling baby A at about 16 weeks and baby B at about 19 weeks. It was pretty faint until about 23-24weeks when I really started feeling more substantial movement.  How close they are to the surface will impact how much you feel them as well.

I wouldn't stress about it right now.

Answer

This is my 4th pregnancy and I'm having twins I didn't feel them until about 21 weeks I felt some flutters here and there and one time at around 14 weeks I felt strong kicking and then it didn't come back til 21 weeks now they move like crazy

Answer

I'm 20 weeks and 3 days. I didn't know what "flutters" meant but these past 2 days, I finally felt it a lot. Sometimes it's like a twitch. It feels funny and almost ticklish. Before, I'm not sure if I felt anything. I'm sure you'll feel it soon. Everyone is different. Take care!

Answer

All movement felt was questionable until early 20-22 weeks, now at 27, absolutely unmistakable.

Answer

I had similar flutters around 16-19 weeks and started getting real thumps around 20-22. Now they are both super active at 27+1! Wishing you the best!!

Answer

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm having twins it seemed like it took me longer to feel their movements then with my singleton pregnancies. At around 21-22 weeks I was feeling definite kicks but before that it was just flutters every now and then that sometimes I wasn't sure if it was them lol

Answer

Babies number 3&4 for me, felt some flutters early on around 14-15 weeks...super randomly only noticed them a handful of time up til about 19-20(now)weeks they're definite kicks.

Answer

These babies are my 3rd and 4th. I didn't feel them any earlier than my singletons, maybe even a couple days later.. now at 21 weeks it's VERY obvious that they are moving

Answer

I didn't feel kicks until 20 weeks+ I was like you I felt little movements before that but not kicks and then it was just one day there they were lol I'm now 21+4 and they kick like crazy and even my hubby has felt them now.
