Hi Strawberry Fields

I probably felt my first flutters at about 14 weeks this time around but only from my baby on the right hand side. Our guy on the left's placenta is anterior (at the front) so this blocked a lot of his movements whereas the guy on the right's placenta is posterior (at the back) so felt his movements sooner.


I didn't get my first kick - that I felt - from lefty until Xmas day (18 weeks) and even then it took a few more weeks for them to start becoming more regular. Although now I feel everything. My lefty is more of a roller and squirmer and the righty is my kicking and punching baby, they already have there own personality traits even before they arrive.

I've been lucky as the stretch marks have only just started in the past couple of weeks (my tummy is now measuring full term for a singleton so not surprising) and get used to back pain as it doesn't get any better . Mmmm and gas is such fun, I've now hit the indigestion stage as my tummy is almost up in my throat and I am also getting numbness in my thighs, although I had this with DD as well.

Are you having identicals??? Even though I'm having 2 boys we have to wait to find out if they are identical as they both have their own placenta's and sac's so they could be fraternal or identical if the egg split by day 4. How frequently are you being scanned for TTTS?? I am having 4 weekly scans to check growth only as my boys have there own placenta they don't share the same food source and won't get TTTS.
