Fetal Movement & Twins

[lorane]

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this too. My fraternal twins (boy/girl) have had very different fetal movements this past week. My girl feels like she's cage fighting while my boy is hardly moving at all. I was so concerned about his lack of movement that I phoned my DR and was told to drink OJ and lay on my left side, that got him going somewhat. I was just wondering if any of you pg with twins have had this same issue?

We are currently getting the 3D/4D pics for free since I'm considered high risk. I highly recommend to wait until you are 25-27 weeks because before then they look like aliens.  Sorry but it's true.  My DH and I disliked watching them that way until last week when they looked "normal".  At this point I can tell you that it gives you so much more detail than the regular US.  We can see their fingers and face features.  It's really awesome.

Thank you it does. How did the 3D / 4 D pix come out? I am wanting to get it done:)

Hi Lorane,

I have the same issue (g/g fraternal twins).  Baby A moves a lot more than Baby B.  During our last US (Thursday 8/26) baby A was really streching her entire body to the point that she kept kicking baby B.  Baby B was curled up in a ball and you could barely see her.  One is defenitely more dominant than the other.  I felt so bad for baby B and wanted to help her but I just can't.  Even on the 3D/4D pics you can see baby B's face and also baby A's feet on baby B forehead.  The MD did not say this was wrong, normal for twins.  I hope this helps!

Hi there!  I have asked our surrogate about that -- she said the one that was on the bottom (which we now think is our boy) was much more active and she could feel him a lot more.  Our girl was always moving more on past u/s.  We had an u/s on Thursday and the heart beats, and everything else looked great.  I think it is pretty common for one to move more than the other.  We have always noticed a difference between them.  Sounds like your doc isn't worried..but it sounds like a pretty common thing...good luck with them!  So exciting!
