Feeling movement

I am new to this news group. I am pregnant with triplets (2 boys & a girl)
24 wks 3 days along. My due date is Nov 11 with expected delivery around
Sept 20.

I have not felt the babies move yet. I go in for ultrasounds all of the
time and see the babies move like mad, but so far I've been disappointed in
the lack of feeling. My question is, is this normal?? I had one friend
tell me that by the time the babies get big enough to feel the kick, they
are too constrained, and a nurse told me that a lot of times there is so
much happening, that I just won't feel them until really late. I would have
thought that if they are strong enough for me to feel them, then I should
feel them in the midst of my stretching pains.

Your thoughts please.

Gayle,

I didn't feel a whole lot of movement during my entire pregnancy. They were
too little early on and then all of a sudden there just wasn't much room for
movement. I mostly had a lot of back pain which my DR attributed to movement
inward toward my back.

BTW, I love your website. Those are terrific ultrasound shots.

It is unusual, but clearly they are just fine if they are moving lots on the
ultrasound. From hazy memory, while some women feel movement remarkably early,
quite a few don't until they are well past mid-pregnancy. Think of those women
in the news now and then, who don't know they're pregnant until they suddenly
deliver a full-term baby! They must not feel all the kicks that most people do.

I have only just started feeling my twins move (24 weeks) but within the
space of two days it seemed like I was feeling just the odd kick and now its
pretty much all the time, even though we could see them moving so much on
ultrasound.

Gayle- I don't have any advice regarding your question. I just wanted to say
your website is great. I thought the picture of the woman with two boys and
a girl (and a dog) on the "Story" page was *so* appropriate for you. That's
really cool!

Hey! I felt my girl kick last night! What an experience. Everyone kept
telling me about little flutters, well honey, this was no flutter. I told
my husband that either my muscles were spasming or EG was kicking. I placed
my hand over the area and could not believe that my hand kept jumping. My
hand bounced about 4 times, then it stopped. It started up again and he
rushed over and put his hand over the spot. If this is the beginning, I am
happy . . . and worried. Happy because I have been disappointed that I
haven't felt them move, and worried, because if it is that strong now, I
have 9 weeks left to go and 2 other babies to join in. I think I'll be
black and blue by the time Sept rolls around. :-)
