Baby movements

I was just woundering if twins moved more inside you or does it feel differant (like there is two in there ) I am 16weeks prego. Had last U/S and heard heart beat at 6 weeks 6 days. Doc said then there is only one. But I feel like there is two! this baby has been moving like crazy it feels way differant than my other 2 children. Also wanted to know can doctors be wrong the 1st time and there really be two babys?

I could feel the first movements at 15 weeks. Same with my dd (singleton pregnancy). I have all three girls and I read that girls start to move sooner so I thought that was interesting.

I've been feeling them move since about 16 weeks. Initially light flutterings. Now at 21 weeks I can see my tummy move at times whey they kick/punch and my husband has been able to feel it. I can distinctly tell one from the other because one is on top of the other and they are lying sideways which is kind of neat. As time goes on it willl likely be harder to distinguish.

I never felt much movement at all because I had an anterior placenta....

MY twins definitely moved earlier too.  Both my first child and my twins moved a lot, but I guess my twins did move a bit more since there were two of them.

They don't move more each but it may feel like they are moving all the time because they "take turns" LOL. As you can imagine, it is much more pronounced as the pregnancy progresses, especially about week 24 and on (for me anyway). The u/s techs are pretty good at finding twins even at 6 weeks gestation so my guess is that there is probably only one but you will find out at your level 2. The prenatal care for me wasn't different for twins vs. my singleton pregnancy except for that I went in once a month starting in the second trimester.

Let us know for sure : )
