It just doesn't feel real

[Stephytiggs]

16 weeks on Friday, still no movement and still no bump!! It seems as though everyone else who is having twins is showing off their lovely bumps, where's mine? 😢

Feeling frustrated and impatient, want to be able to bond with my babies but Im having a hard time because I can't see or feel them.

Anyone else feeling this way x

It's possible u might have an anterior placenta I'm 23 weeks and i have a high anterior placenta which she is hiding behind altho I'm not having twins I honestly haven't felt much movement app from the odd kick to my uterus since about 18 /19 maybe later ... I'm sure everything is perfectly fine and everyone is different if u have a slim frame and it's ur 1st pregnancy I can take a while hun try not to stress I'm sure it won't be long xoxo

Didn't want to read and run x

Thanks Jamie, would they have told me I had an anterior placenta at 12 week scan? Have my gender scan soon an I'm paranoid they're going to say something's wrong xx

When I was 16 weeks I had no movements and no bump, even at 20 weeks I had hardly any movements and just a tiny bump that was hardly noticeable unless you really looked for it.
At my 20 week scan I asked why I had no movements and she said that my placenta was in the front so the baby was kicking that and I probably wouldn't feel anything definite till about 24 weeks.
When I was 22 weeks I popped out more and in certain clothes you could see a bump and I started to feel her more.
I am now 26+1 weeks and feeling her all the time and now have a noticeable bump
but that's only just happened over the last week or two

so my advice is not to panic every pregnant women is different and if your worried then call your midwife as they will be best to reassure you

Hey, I didn't start showing until 22 weeks with my twins, everyone around me was showing off their single bumps and I was still waiting lol! Once you do pop, don't worry, they will make up for it!

I will be 16 weeks on Friday and I feel the same way!! I literately just started to show a little, but no movements yet. Even though I don't have much of a bump, I still put my hold on my stomach and talk to our little bean.

Thanks everybody for the reassurance!! I know I'm being Impatient, but we are only doing this once and I want to feel pregnant as long as possible!! Xx

Not having twins but on my third baby and haven't felt movement because my placenta is at the front of baby . I don't look pregnant just fat 😩. With my son I was bigger and felt him from 16 weeks so this sucks.x

Feel your pain Charlotte!! I'm sure in a months time we will be wishing we were a bit smaller and could move easier! Xx

If it's your first pregnancy, that might be why. you show later and feel movement later. I wouldn't worry, you soon will!

My twins are my third pregnancy so I was already showing at 12 weeks and felt movements at 16-18 weeks. I'm bloody huge now x
