Hi,
I am 23 weeks pregnant with twins....but I
am feeling very little movement , not even
every day, may be once at night slight
fluttering , thats all.........Dr checked
in 22 weeks , said everything
normal....but I am worried
Moreover I am almost 180 lbs (small
built)...is it because i am overweight?

its probably because the babies have no
where to move (it ususaly happens more
around 30 weeks, but theres 2 so theres
less room) if the doctor doesnt seem
concerned then try not to worry too much,
but i would make a note of it and if
anything seems to be not right get it
checked out
and it is NOT caused by being overweight,
i am/was overweight and i could feel my
daughter moving from about 19 weeks right
up until i delivered (im not saying how
much i weight, but its more then you lol)

Twins are usually (I don't know for sure)
smaller, right? and they have less room in
that crowded space. It could be because
the limbs (easiest to move) are facing
toward each other and not at the walls of
your uterus. Also remember that they sleep
alot, and sometimes just aren't very
active. The only reason I could feel my
baby moving at 14 weeks was becasue her
feet happened to be right up against my
abdomen (in what looked to be a very
uncomfertable position).
It is very comferting to feel the baby
move and I am sorry you are having woes
over this. You might want to try drinking
something sweet. (orange juice or hot
chocolate) Even now, sugar will give them
energy and rile them up a bit.
And just to think, when they're born,
you'll probably be glad to see them sleep.
(but then you can see them)
Story: When my mom was pregnate with me I
didn't move for the longest time when she
was in her third trimester. For weeks,
actually, and she was convinced something
was wrong. Obviously I'm fine. i've never
been exceptionally active. I guess I was
just chilling and enjoying myself for a
few weeks. I kicked again eventually.
