shortness of breath 18w5d with di-di twin boys

I didn't feel my twins move much throughout the pregnancy. I did have faster heart rate too and shortness of breath. It doesn't mean that your concerns aren't valid and I hope your doctor responds quickly!
Hang in there!

Hi Maria, congratulations on your twin pregnancy! I had shortness of breath and a fast heart rate during my twin pregnancy as well, and it turned out to be low iron levels. I got some supplements from the doctor and it sorted it right out, might be with asking to have your levels checked? Also I didn’t feel my boys move until after 18 weeks, I think I was at about 20 weeks then I felt what I knew were indisputably baby kicks! Hope that helps ☺️

Thanks so much ladies!! Feels good to hear positive outcomes 🙏🏼 I will definitely bring up the iron levels as well in case that could be triggering this.

I had this. I was fine thank God but it really felt like I wasn't fine at the time. Worryingly fast heart rate. It was higher than my husband's after a run when I was just sitting on the sofa doing nothing. Being a teacher I just gave up talking a lot of the time I'd put all the instructions on the board and get kids to read aloud if we were looking at literature (I teach English). Everybody was so good about it. My iron levels started off great but depleted by third trimester and I need a transfusion a few days before the babies came. I was just exhausted all the time by the end but so so worth it. They're almost 8 months old now :)

Movement wise, flutters around 14 weeks, then little things here and there and full kicks by 20 weeks. One twin moved waaaay more than the other and even now, my girl is always wanting to get up and go and my boy is quite content to roll around and chill 😹
