Hiya
I’m 29 weeks and the last week I’ve literally felt no movements from twin 2.. I had a scan on Monday and everything was fine he’s just measuring smaller and he’s breech so I should expect him to kick low down! I was at triage last week and they wasn’t thst happy with twin 2 on the machine so sent me for a growth scan but I already had one coming up anyway!
Could it be possible he’s kicking inwards or the same area as twin 1? Twin 1 is cephalic so I wouldn’t of thought they would be.
Anyone else having this problem?

My friend had a single baby who was measuring small, and she stopped feeling movements, but what they had told her was that baby was facing her spine, so that's why she was having reduced movements.
Where abouts is their placenta ?
Twin 2's placenta was at the front, so if they kicked the front of my stomach I could see it, but not feel it - unless I placed my hand on that part of my belly - could this be a possibility ?
I was always told, when in doubt, get checked out, you never know ! Or try all the different ways of making them jiggle like changing position, have something sugary, have a nice cold drink etc.
Hope this helps !

thank you
Both placentas are at the front but I always feel twin 1 more clearly, I’ve been putting it off all week about ringing triage since I had a leakage in the night (don’t know what the leakage was)

Both placentas were in the front for me too, and a lot of the time, she was sprawled out so much that I confused Baby Bs movements with her brothers all the time. I thought he was kicking like crazy but turns out, all 4 feet were in my ribs not just his 🥴 it was always so much harder to get her moving I would always freak out! But then she'd get hiccups every time I ate something so I knew she was good 🤣 never be afraid to go in to L&D or call your OB to get another quick scan if you need to calm your nerves
