Worried about Ava's movement...

June 06, 2008

Here is the update:

My last doc appt at 29 weeks my doc said that she was concerned about the report that the last ultrasound tech wrote at 26 weeks. The tech wrote that the uterine growth of twin A is not what would be expected. After reviewing the measurements of both babies my doc said she did not see a significant difference in the babies sizes. Twin A 1 lb 12 oz, twin B 2 lbs. She still wanted me to see a perinatologist to get another opinion. Appointment with the specialist isn't till next Friday :( Are they really going to make me suffer and wait that long to find out if everything is okay?????!!!!! I guess this could be a good sign that the issue is urgent...

Ever since my appointment I have been a little worried. Ava (twin A) doesn't move nearly as much as Madison (twin B). I have always noticed this but now it makes me think something is in fact wrong with Ava...

Any thoughts on this. Anyone else who is preggo with twins notice a difference in the movement of the babies. Ava is on bottom... could she just be a little more cramped up then Madison?

Hi Sam,

I'm also pregnant with twins (29 weeks), and my girl, who's actually the one on the top is less active than the boy. I also heard about differences in activity from another mom to twins...

Well what i would say sam is that as you get bigger they have less room to move around in there because it is crowded..i feel my twin b move more than A..but i am not sure where they are positioned now becuase i have not had a u/s in like 3 weeks..so i will find out on tuesday..but i do feel movement more on one side than the other..when i had my 12 weeks u/s baby B was not moving that much at all..and baby a was all over the place..so i am not sure..i would not worry though as long as tyou feel both of them. but i have heard that the further along you get with twins the less movement because there is no space
