    Hi, I didn't feel any movement until about 18 weeks, and then good strong movement at about 20 weeks, though it was my first pregnancy and I didn't really know what to look for, hopefully I will know next time . Wishing you all the best, such exciting news!

    I recognised my twins' movement finally by around 26 weeks, despite them being bigger than average expected size at ultrasounds, and very active. I reckon I just wasn't sure what to recognise.
    I'm now 15 weeks preg with my second set of twins (first set will be either just about 2, or have turned 2 when the next twins arrive), and recognised flutters from about 9 weeks. Asked Dr if this was possible and she confirmed it was entirely possible, especially given the way they were moving around when we looked at them briefly on U/S at 10 weeks. I'm now feeling stronger movements than flutters, more like they're turning and rolling about.
    You're in for a treat. Twins are hard work, but fascinating to watch in the way they interact with each other. I'll be looking for advice though from those who have 2 sets of twins close together.... Ugh!!
