So how many of us here have anterior placentas? This is my 3rd baby but first time with an anterior one and I'm not a fan lol.
 
I don't actually know where my placenta is, it doesn't say on my scan-notes and they didn't mention it during the scan either (the 12wk one that is!)
Last time I had an anterior placenta. Read in my pregnancy book the other day that your placenta never attaches in the same place - thought that was interesting, but I guess that doesn't mean you won't have an anterior placenta if you've already had it before, it's just not initially attached in the same place...

Mine is anterior. Second pregnancy. The first was anterior too. I am also not a fan. Just started feeling baby at 19+5 and its so so soft.
 
Yeah I barely feel movement. When I do, it's down low and to the right. Does having an anterior placenta mean you won't get to see the baby's limbs as they move around in your belly during the 3rd trimester? I used to love when the baby would stick her butt out to one side or you'd see the limbs glide across the belly as she flipped over. Does the placenta get in the way of that happening?
 
Bexter congrats on :blue: and MrsPhez congrats on :pink:

I don't know if my placenta is anterior or not, but I haven't felt her move but maybe 4 times. the only other one that I waited this long to feel was one of my ds who did have anterior placenta. I was 26 weeks before I felt him. I don't want to wait that long!!!!! I will be asking about this tomorrow

I have an emergency scan tomorrow to check the length of my cervix. I lost some plug twice since last Friday and had some pressure, cramps, and backache. hoping everything is ok :wacko:
 
My gender scan is tomorrow!!!



At 17 weeks I haven't really felt a lot of movement... Is it because this is my first or because I have a little extra body fat?
 
I have a left anterior placenta. I say left as the Doppler picked up placenta on that side, but not across midline. I feel little kicks in the middle and to the right for almost a week now. Baby must be an active little one. My first kicks came as I was worrying about baby and late miscarriage. Then I got two little kicks saying I'm fine mom! I get a few kicks a day now. This is my first, so I'm stoked!

Yep. Mine is anterior and I also have complete placenta previa. It's really annoying. Sometimes, I think I feel flutters, but the question is also who is who. I'm really anxious because for me a Doppler also doesn't help. They're in the same sac with very small separation and move around constantly. They share the placenta.

I want to fall asleep and wake up in week 36 (I have to have the boys before week 37 since they're mo-di) being wheeled to csection recovery.
 
I'm just grateful I don't have placenta previa, so my sympathies to you. I can't imagine. Good luck to you and your boys :)

I'm just worried I won't feel the same movements I did in my previous pregnancies. It's what I loved most about being pregnant and if this ends up being my last one (OH is overwhelmed at the thought of 3 girls and says he thinks he might be done after this one) ... I'm going to be so bummed if I don't get half the movements I so look forward to, you know?

I've been feeling her down low and to the right but I don't know much about my placenta other than it's anterior.
 
I feel the same way Wavescrash and thank you. We'll see if the previa moves up, I'm on pelvic rest for it.

My perinatologist said around 25 weeks I should feel the same things ladies with posterior placentas feel. Hope you can take some comfort that it will happen. But, I know---25 weeks feels like a lifetime from now. :(
 
I posted the same question/concern in a local mommy group on FB and a couple women said 24-25 weeks was when they felt real movements with their anterior placentas as well. Though one woman said she barely felt anything the whole time :/

My Dr said mines Fundal (at the top and slightly to the left), I feel him move mostly on my right and down so that kind of makes sense but felt his long legs tapping away on my left during the scan today....

Speaking of, he's confirmed team Blue! :happydance: is it bad that I did a little yay for not having pink stuff? I love teal and purple but I would have been so overwhelmed with pink baby girl clothes hehe.

So hard not to post all the pics, how do you all manage not to flood posts? LOL. Aiden's tests all came negative for downs (and the other trisomy's they test for) from our last appointment and our specialist said he shows no visable signs for spina bifida (reason for today's scan), He discharged us back to the care of just our OB as he's happy with how Aiden is progressing :happydance:
 
Good morning ladies

Wannabubba when we had the scan they took ages on the heart and told us it was because of his position. He turned at the last minute and everything was fine so dont worry. Scan all went well and we are team blue yey xx

I also dont feel movements that often but I dont know if I have an anterior placenta ... will ask at my gender scan ... either that or my baby is just lazy ...

I have only felt two strong movements so far ...
 
Congrtz on team :blue: disney ! :)

21 weeks today & a banana! :) whoop.
I'm feeling stronger kicks now and can see my belly move when he kicks. But its stil not all the time ..

I've got to make another appointment at the drs to see if my uti has gone . I don't think it has tho. I've been on 2 lots of antibiottics 4it. Scared its gna hurt baby :( x
 
Mine has to be anterior, well i will find out on the 23rd when my scan is. I felt regular movement from 17 week with baby 3 and 4 so to get to 20 week almost and hardly anything with number 5 is ridiculous!

It is also very light and gentle almost like a twitch if anything, felt lovely wriggles last night on my side in bed but again nothing this morning even though she crashing about in there by the doppler lol.

How is everybody doing at work? Im really starting to struggle. Im so tired and my tummy aches with all the stretching and i really just want to sleep all the time/ I work in a nursing home and am on my feet constantly. today is my first of 6 late shifts 2pm-8:30pm and im dreading it
 
waves -my placenta is anterior too, I only started to get regular kicks and movement form 20weeks -now I do feel movement everyday and it is getting stronger. Really annoyed me to, as I felt my last baby at 16weeks and strong lol.

The baby is initially smaller than the placenta and therefore all/ most movements are hidden behind it, but as the pregnancy progresses baby is much bigger than the placenta and you should still feel baby and have the lovely protruding bits you recognize. xx

Congrats Disney on team blue -your scan pics are amazing xx

Donna hope your UTI and thrush are clearing up /cleared up -and yay for 21 weeks and your banana lol - love seeing your ticker change, cos I am the day behind you haha

:hugs:

I had an anterior placenta with Lucas and I could see him move! :) So I'm sure you will! As Wannabubba#4 said: the baby will soon be bigger than the placenta (if they aren't already) so you'll definitely be able to see something!

I don't think extra body fat really matters, as it's coming from the inside so you'd still feel it.... right?? :shrug:
I started feeling movement at 16 weeks with my first pregnancy. There have been plenty of people that don't feel anything till about 20 weeks though, so nothing to worry about, but I'd say it's probably because it's your first! :flower:



6 more sleeps till our scan!! Really can't wait!!!
My parents and my brother are coming over on saturday, from Holland! So they're staying a couple of days, then going to see my sister in Bristol and then coming back to ours next friday/saturday before they go back home! I always like it when my family comes over, cause we don't get to see each other that often. I used to go over about twice a year usually, but with hubby not working at the moment and Lucas being 2 now it's just too expensive at the moment (I say Lucas being 2, because that means we would now have to pay full price for a seat on the plane for him!)
Anyway, hopefully my parents and brother being here is gonna speed time up a little till our scan!!
