i have found that i hardly felt any movements till i was alot further on than u, i'm now 36+4 and feel big movements like legs sticking out etc before that it was very mild and mine have the same( placenta at front). u should be having alot of scans soon and u can see the heart so you'l be reasured, i think as a rule they like to pick up a difference if 5. mine are usually 155 and 160 so fairly close. if she was worried she'd get u checked out by a second opinion... she just sounds a bit crap! i can understand its hard to find two beats but to say to u it may just be one is goin to worry and stress u when u  really dont need it. she should have kept trying .  check your notes to see what she's put. x x

Big hugs to you, I've been through some really horrible pregnancies one ending in a loss at 21 weeks, worry comes  natural to me. 

The best you can do is hope that all is well, if the drs are alerted to the problem then you're in the best hands.

Your midwife sounds hopeless, maybe she is only listening to one baby and that's why they sound the same.

I don't know if anyone has told you but having an anterior placenta makes it loads harder to feel kicks and you normally only feel the really big ones when you have your placenta on the front wall of your uterus.

Unfortunatly for me my healthy pregnancies have all been with anterior placenta which makes worrying that bit harder!

I hope all is well with you, and if you ever need a shoulder pm me! It's a long hard 9months worrying!

Awwww, poor you.  Sending  you loads of hugs.  I have a very similar history to you.  It's a nightmare isn't it?  The constant worry.  I too felt reduced movements in this twin pregnancy, was at about 30 weeks.  The twins had moved positions and that was the only possible reason that we could find, after ECGs, scans, etc  all revealed normal activity.  It is a worry with twins that both heartbeats are being picked up.  I bought a listening device with a digital counter very early on and it's been a godsend because at home you've got more time than the midwife has to listen to make sure they're different.  Usually now, we've become so good at it, that we can hear the difference without really needing to look at the counter, but sometimes the heartrates are very similar.  I'm 35+5 now and won't feel relaxed about it all until they're actually here with me.  Try not to worry, as I think the happier you are, the happier they will be.  It sounds like you're receiving good care, which is probably the most important external factor, so that's another thing to worry less about.  Also every day that passes, is a step closer.  Hope all goes well.  x

Hi Ladies, Sorry to off load this but maybe I will feel better after (not sure if it will work tho)

Just a little bit of background info.

Ive had pg problems in the past with DS and ive had a mc and a mmc, this pg I was taken into casualty at 11 weeks as they thought I was having an eptopic to be told the extremely good news that it was twins.

My girl twin has an anterior placenta and my boy twin has a posterior placenta.

Cos nothing ever goes right for me I cant believe how lucky I am to be a twin mummy, im consultant led cos of high risk previous problems but everytime I see my midwife she says I have found 2 heartbeats but they could be 1 baby as they are so simular, anyway without rambling on I had to go into the day care unit today as from yesterday lunchtime I havent had any movements up until lunchtime today, I was all on my own cos DP was at his parents house about 50 miles away.

They want me to go back tomorrow for monitoring as they are concerned about the reduced fetal movements although this afternoon ive had a couple of hard punches or kicks so maybe they was just being lazy All afternoon on and off ive been in really bad pain and its making me so so scared. I want these babies so so much.

I know what with pg hormones I probably sound so OTT and so im sorry.
