Anterior placenta- when did you feel movement?

[Mypreciouskid]

Anterior here also. I started feeling flutters at 17, very few and far between. I started feeling daily kicks at 19 weeks.

Thank you all ladies. More than sure now that my youngests was anterior too with how late on movements were.

I''ve got an anterior placenta too and not felt anything yet! I'm 17+3 with #2.

With my first I was just under 21 weeks before I felt a proper kick due to anterior placenta. This time round i felt movememnts from 11 weeks onwards, butterflies/bubbles and then kicks from about 16 weeks. Totally different due to the placenta being in a different place!

I was worried about this too but I've honestly felt quite a bit of movement the last couple weeks.

I've had two anterior placentas.

I felt movement with my son at 19 weeks and even then it was really light movements for many weeks afterwards.

With this one though, I swear I felt movement from about 13/14 weeks. They were really definitely noticeable as baby movements around 16/17 weeks and now at 21.5 weeks they are so strong you can feel them from the outside (though the last few days she's been aiming her punches and kicks internally - particularly at my cervix, ouch!).

My notes say ive got an anterior placenta , but ive been feeling baby from 15 weeks! Now at 22 weeks i see kicks from outside , even strong enough to be caught in film! Think it depends where about it is x

23 weeks for me before it felt like definite movement. So different from my first which I felt from 16 weeks

Mmmmmmm maybe it's not wind I'm feeling then. So confusing lol

I have been feeling questionable things since 17 weeks but still not sure if it was movement or not. The last couple days I have felt things that have been undoubtedly baby. I even saw the kick for the first time on the outside today and felt it with my hand! I have an anterior placenta but am very thin. To me it feels like thumps or shuddering in my belly.

I've popped over from 1st tri having a nosey, I had my scan on Monday and was 12+1, a couple of days before hand I felt my baby, have been feeling it pretty much every day since in the same spot, low down on my left hand side. At my scan I was shocked to find I have an anterior placenta. This is my second so I know what baby moving feels like and it's 100% baby I can feel. But only on that one side so I guess it's to do with where the placenta actually is. I'm guessing mine is probably further over to the right that's why I can feel baby on the left. I'm pretty amazed though as it's early to feel baby moving especially with an anterior placenta but it's possible!!! I've also felt pressure/churning feeling which I think it baby moving too. But those little pokes are unmistakable

I had an anterior placenta with DD. I started to feel flutterings after my 20 week scan and proper full on kicks at about 22/23 weeks.

From what I remember I *think* I was around 17-18 weeks when I first felt movement (funny how quickly you forget?!).

I know everyone has a different experience with an anterior placenta but with mine I had difficulties feeling baby right to the very end of my pregnancy. I recall visiting the hospital many times to check on my babies movement because I often worried. It's not a big deal but I recall other pregnant women talking about seeing a foot or hand pushing against their stomach and wishing I could have experienced that (I never did). Also, I found his movements were always more muffled, I never had any big jolts or strong kicks that I could feel.

Hopefully this time will be different!

The I was wondering this, if it's not fully covering the front, just mainly. Mines right at the bottom no particular side so wondering if it's at the top and down a proportion if the front. I was sat on sofa other day and bent right over to the floor to wrap a present and felt a definite protest to been squished lol

Yes it could very well be! I'm not sure how big the placenta would be in comparison to the uterus and baby at this point but I guess if there's a space next to or below it there's definitely a chance you can feel baby when it's wriggling in that spot! I'm hoping mine it pretty high, I don't know as they didn't mention it to me when I had my scan just saw on my notes so will ask where it is at my 20 weeks scan.

I was gutted when I found out as with my daughter the movement was amazing and I didn't want to be disappointed this time round
