campbell06 · Feb 1st, 2012, 08:22 AM

im alomst 10 weeks along and so far all my ultra sounds look great at my 9th week scan the heartbeats were 176 and 178. This is not my first pregnancy i have a 2 yr old and a 5 yr old, but i feel like a first time mom having lost a pregnancy in aug of 2010 at 7 weeks im so afraid ill lose this one too.
I was wondering for all those moms who have had twins when did you feel them move? and did you have a lot a vaganail wetness gross i know but these are the things that have me concerned my next app is not till im 13 weeks and its going to kill me to wait that long. please hlpe rest my mind

Hi i am having the same thing tons of vaginal wetness, i have had it from the start and have now started to use panty liners. I felt a big flutter at 15 weeks(i think they must have swapped places in my tummy) and for the past week just little flutters but only when i am layed still. Had a scan yesterday and the babies have doubled in size in just 4 weeks.
Try to stop worrying and enjoy been pregnant, i am sure everything is just fine and you have nothing to worry about xx.

thanks so much for halping me calm down it helps to know that the same thing too is happening to someone else, im the first in the family for twins and no one else has had a baby in a few yrs so i keep asking people and all they say is that they didnt remember when they were pregnant. I really do hope to calm down so i can enjoy being pregnant its such and amazing gift 2 babies in 1

thank you so much for being honest with me and congrats to you on your babies.

I checked my undies everytime I went pee for MONTHS after finding out I was expecting twins. The "wetness" you are feeling is normal and will not let up anytime soon. I had a loss in Jan 2011 and concieved the twins in May 2011 so the pain of losing the one was still new. I felt tiny bubbles in the 10-11 week mark and A LOT of movement around 14-15 weeks. Its hard to regain that trust in your body once you have lost a pregnancy. My advice is to stay off of google. If you have questions, ask your Dr then ask on this forum. Google will scare the shit out of you, I know it scared me to the point I didn't begin enjoying my pregnancy until the 3rd trimester. Calm down, hun... I am one week away from my c section and I can't wait to see them so I KNOW they are safe. I don't think that feeling goes away until you actually SEE the babies.

I also had the wetness all the way through, and it got worse as the pregnancy went on. I also had several bleeds which again can be very common with twin pregnancies!
I felt flutters from 11 weeks only little ones but 100% sure it was movement.

Yay! We are actually bump buddies!! I'm 9 1/2 weeks too! I will be 10 weeks on Friday/Saturday. I am super nervous as well. Checking the panties all the time! I am having the 'wetness' as well and sometimes it scares me so much that I leave my classroom and run to the bathroom. I also had 2 losses at the end of last year, so I'm still fresh off of the losses.

It sounds like we are ok from what folks are saying. I know it's hard not to worry, but let's just try and enjoy it while we can. Unfortunately, worrying wont change anything. (But just know--I'm right there with ya!!)

I started feeling some movement around 14-15 weeks, but not often. Now they are moving constantly. It does take a while to get comfortable after a loss, but you'll get there. Waiting until that next appointment is the worst!

I suffered 2 miscarriages and a molar pregnancy in the 6 months before conceiving the twins, and totally sympathise with your nerves and worries.

I remember being shocked with the dampness downstairs, having never really noticed it in any previous pregnancies, it did ease up, probably mid 2nd trimester for me. I started feeling flutters at 14 weeks, and knew by 16 weeks for sure. Actual kicks started about 19 weeks for twin 2, but twin 1 who had anterior placenta were only distinguishable about 23 weeks, but were always harder to feel up until delivery x

Twin pregnancy is tough, and you do worry about all your niggles, but I found so much comfort in posting on here and finding out I wasn't alone.

Congrats with your pregnancy x
