Anterior placenta

Hey ladies! Just past 13 weeks and everything is looking perfect so far 🥰 sonographer told me I have an anterior placenta. I know it’s normal and have read it can mean reduced feeling of movements etc, just wondered if any of you could share your experiences please? Roughly when did you start feeling little one and was it quite faint? 🤍

I had an anterior placenta and a tarted to feel my baby around 20 weeks was only light at first and not a pattern. By 24 weeks I felt her a lot more and it only got stronger and more frequent and I was able to see her move through my belly. 😌

Both my pregnancies I had an anterior placenta so I can’t compare it to a posterior but I had no problems feeling movements. Flutters started around 18 weeks with my first, 17 weeks with my second. Kicks a few weeks later and proper rolling visible alien like movement towards the end 😆

I didn't feel my baby move until 24 weeks. I thought I could feel the odd flutter before but I had stomach pains at 20 weeks so went to maternity day and I could hear her kick and move & felt nothing.

i probably started feeling definite movements around 25 weeks

Hey lovely! I had an anterior placenta. I first felt movement at 20 weeks. Literally just felt like a little flick on my skin. I didn’t feel proper kicks until maybe 24/25 weeks. Sometimes I had to really pay attention and concentrate to feel movement. Xx

I didn’t feel anything until 24 weeks and that was flutters. I never actually felt ‘kicks’ as such just little movements x

I have anterior placenta as well. I am currently 28 weeks and I would say I started feeling baby at 23/24 weeks

Hiya, it took a little longer for me to feel for sure, maybe 16 weeks for flutters but by 20 weeks I was feeling him loads and by the end I was in pain from how much he moved! 🤣

Hey, with my first born I had an anterior placenta and couldn’t feel movement or see anything until 23+ weeks. This pregnancy (20weeks) I also have an anterior placenta and can feel slight flutters but depends which position I am in.. try not to worry they will come x

Every pregnancy is different, everyone feels movement at different stages. I began feeling movements at 16 weeks with an anterior placenta, I'm now 21 weeks and movement is still occasional and always at the sides, bottom and very rarely at the top. Some days I don't feel her at all, but movement depends on what position I am sitting in

I had this with my second pregnancy. I started feeling movement around week 13 which is weird because with my first it was posterior and I started feeling around week 19. Maybe because it was a second time I could feel sooner. But overall it wasn't that faint really.

I started feeling kicks around 22 weeks and I could tell it was a kick.. as in it wasn’t light lol 😂 then it started getting more frequent and harder and over the last couple weeks (I’m now 27wks) I’ve started to see my belly move very occasionally when he kicks 🥰 a lot of the time I can’t feel it from outside unless I’m lying down but now they’re getting harder, I can feel more kicks from the outside x

Currency 4wks PP and had an AP just like you!! Started feeling faint movements near 20wks! To me it felt like I needed to fart but it didn't come if that makes sense 🤣 apparently it was my LB moving about inside! Didn't see my first kick until after 20wks..

Thank you ladies, sounds like everyone’s experience is different which I totally expected, but great to hear that there’s a bit of a window to look out for butterflies - even if it is a huge window haha! I’m an anxious mess so I’ll feel so much better when I can actually feel little one wriggling about in there 🥰🤍
