Anterior placenta????

Question

Went in for an elective ultrasound today and was told my placenta is anterior. I know that it means its infront of the baby and so I'll feel less movement but google did not make me feel good about what i read.

Will someone who has had this please share your experience.

Answer

I had this and considered it a blessing, definitely could feel baby moving but it never woke me up at night and I slept so well through my whole pregnancy. Your midwife/dr will tell you if it is something to be concerned about. It doesn't change anything in terms of carrying or delivering the baby

Answer

I have it & felt my baby kicking at 16 wks!! I also have too much fluid so maybe that's why. This is my 3rd baby, she's always measured big... & my bump is pretty small. Ppl didn't even notice I was pregnant til I was 8 mo! Not sure, but I thought the anterior placenta caused me to look smaller. I don't know tho. Nothing else is different!

Answer

Itl move up as your pregnancy progressess

Answer

Do not panic honey! I am due Monday and by this point I can feel everything every time my boy moves!

I had a couple of visits to check babies movements earlier on in pregnancy ( when Id get worried ) but thats when baby was still small enough that his position compared to the placenta meant sometimes his movements didnt feel as strong. It felt like more of a dull thud than a decent kick.

If your baby is like mine then your placenta will make a great punch bag for your little one.!
As long as your placenta isnt covering your cervix or super low then all it means is sometimes the babies movements feel softer or more muted.

If you are ever worried about baby not moving or moving enough then go and get checked! Better safe than sorry! Xxx

Answer

I had an anterior placenta and ever since I felt the first kick at 21 weeks I haven't stopped feeling then every day my son would kick and move I don't believe that you barely feel movement but every pregnancy is different

Answer

My doctor gave me best advice, google nothing. I had anterior placenta and had no complications due to it. I felt the baby kick just fine.

Answer

I'm currently 27 weeks & have an anterior placenta... 
I've felt movement from 16 weeks & it's gotten stronger week by week.
There is every chance the placenta will move as pregnancy progresses, if not, a vaginal birth can still happen... there is also a chance of rupturing the placenta (this can happen during any pregnancy though) but that's why we have the midwives/doctors around us during L and D.

The internet is a scary but useful tool... take everything with a pinch of salt...

Congratulations & good luck with your pregnancy & beyond xx

Answer

I have a anterior placenta and I'm a FTM. Currently 22 weeks pregnant and I think I can feel some movement in my lower belly but not 100% sure! It's not all the time just here and there. My doctor said not much to worry about with a anterior placenta just that during a c-section they would need to be extra careful. Also when I went in for my anatomy scan at 17 weeks they told me my placenta would not move it was pretty much where it would be.

Answer

I am 40+3 with anterior placenta.   Mine was also low lying at first, but has since moved away from the cervix.  It truly doesn't mean much, other than waiting a bit longer to feel baby move initially.

Answer

I have anterior placenta and yes it took a while to feel your baby move but once your pregnancy get older n he/she start moving, especially at nights you're gonna realize you weren't missing out. I'm 31 weeks now and my baby constantly kicks me in my ribs and my bladder. Not fun lol
