When did you first feel your twins move?

Thanks Ladies,

They are monochorionic twins (same sex sharing one placenta) - I have had about 5 ultrasounds so far - but I have No Idea where the placenta is or who is where thanks for the insight into only feeling each one on a era tin side, instead of all over. This is uninteresting concept which I wasn't aware if and hadn't considered.

My next ultrasound is may 7 - I am definitely going to ask where the placenta is, where each of the babies are and basically - where everything is on the 'inside' it's just a bit freaky not to have felt anything yet! I did call my OB's rooms and spoke to his midwife - she said if no bleeding or loss then I likely have nothing to be concerned about (I'm sure that's what they say to all the paranoid mums to be who call).

Some days I don't feel big at all - other days I feel massive for 15 weeks. Thanks for the idea of taking regular pregnancy photos - I am going to start doing this once a fortnight.

I didnt feel our babies move until quite late in the preganancy

We had an anterior and posterior placenta so I guess thats why, I only felt them once they were too big not too

Kelly - your photos are amazing! I loved that you measured, I never thought to do that. It's funny that you got so many comments asking if there was more than 2, and I got so many comments asking if I was sure there was 2 in there.

Kelly - thank you soooooo much for the photos! I have been struggling to imagine how big I will get - now I just feel a bit scared - and in awe of how you coped and got anything done!

I have to ask because I am curious I hope you dontthink I'm rude - what was your recovery like? Did your tummy go back to some semblance of normalcy or does the stretching remain even after the babies have been out for a while? I love the measuring too! I am definitely going to try and start doing that

Mrs Cricket did you get big as well? I am interested in whether all mums of twins get big - or whether some women stay the same size comparatively as a singleton preg?

Thanks so much again ladies - I really appreciate the advice and support.

Preg tummy with twins This is me 2 days before the twins arrived, so I didn't really get very big at all considering there was 2 in there But they were only 3pounds 12oz, and 4pd 2 oz born so I was only carrying a normal sized single baby really haha. I have a album of all my pregnancy photos on FB but I cant share it with the settings I have. PM me if you want to have a look and I can add you if you want!

Just to add - now that I don't have 2 little girls both trying to sit on my knee and 'type', I didn't get any stretch marks but I think that is genetics. My mum didn't get any after 5 pregnancies. I don't think the skin on my stomach will ever be exactly the same as it was. Standing up it looks fine, but sitting down, if you were to lift up my shirt ( ) it looks a bit like old lady skin around my lower stomach. Lucky I don't go much for Britney Spears type outfits..
