Is it normal to not feel much movement with an anterior placenta at 22 weeks for first pregnancy?

Question

Answer

I had anterior with my first who is now 3. I felt flutters at 16 weeks, and he could be felt on the outside by 24 weeks. He was CRAZY though. Like for real, the hyperness was unreal 😂 I have a posterior this time with another boy. I could feel him at 12 weeks. 20 weeks now and it can be felt from the outside. He is also nuts like his big brother 😂

Answer

I’ll be 22 weeks in a couple days and have an anterior placenta and haven’t felt anything yet ☹️

Answer

I’m not sure why anyone said no, buts completely normal. Some FTM don’t feel movement, regardless of placental location, until closer to 24-28. 
I have an anterior placenta too. It’s a bit on the higher side. We feel them later and lower and on the sides. Every once in a while I’ll get kicked really hard down low. Sometimes I don’t feel her for a few days. It’ll be okay! You’ll feel your baby much more in the third trimester. Don’t let it worry you too much. However, if you’re really concerned at any point don’t hesitate to call your OB.

Answer

I’m glad you asked! I’m 20 weeks with an anterior placenta and there are some days I feel a few kicks, and others I don’t feel anything. It’s so nerve racking! But I’m glad I’m reading that it’s totally normal. 🤗

Answer

It’s normal to not feel much the entire pregnancy with an anterior. You will feel more towards the last couple months (knees and kicks in ribs). But with my first I would go several days without noticing any movement. I’m on baby #2 with anterior again and 19 weeks still not a single movement felt. The first movements last pregnancy were like popcorn popping and it didn’t happen daily. Good luck :)

Answer

FTM, I have an anterior as well and I'm 23 weeks... I've felt hardly any movement. I was able to record crazy movements last week where he was pushing through my stomach, lasted about 20 min and it was first thing in the morning. I feel more movement when I lay down but it's still light.
