Yeah was told my placenta is anterior too. Which is maybe why the last 2 weeks I can't find a heartbeat. Gone to put the doppler away as its was brought for early reassurance which it no longer gives.
I've put it on eBay ... I am still consitipated 😫 See me Friday going see what she says i go once every 3 days and not much and no uncomfortable
Yay for all the girls! Boo for all of the anterior placentas
I'm starting to think I might have one too because I have yet to feel the babies move. I have a detailed 2 hour scan next Wednesday with the MFM so hopefully they'll be able to tell me then.
It's rubbish having anterior makes you worry more as you don't have that reassurance but I try tell myself there are much worse things we could have going on xx
Mines anterior this time too and I'm quote anxious about it. I NEED baby kicks as a constant reassurance so I'm worried what effect it'll have. That did I'm feeling kicks every day so it can't be blocking too much out xx
Jox I can completely understand that, I need a lot of reassurance in life in general and in your case when it comes to baby kicks it's very important after what you have been through, don't worry though as you get past twenty weeks you will still feel all the kicks pretty much, least that has been my experience. I have had it twice before this is the third time. I'm feeling almost no kicks at all, have just had once or twice where I have known for certain it was baby but it's far from daily
With my first baby I had an anterior placenta as well. I started feeling really hard kicks at 18 weeks and my husband could feel the baby kick on the outside by at least 25 weeks. Even though we have an anterior placenta there's still a good chance it could stretch and not make much of a difference later on as far as us feeling the baby's kicks.
I know! I know it doesn't come with any guarantees but it's another milestone done, it's these milestones that are getting me through. Next one will be 28 week scan (fingers crossed) x
