When did you feel baby move with an anterior placenta?

Question

This is my second pregnancy and I just found out that I have an anterior placenta. I am 17.5 weeks and have not felt baby yet. When I was pregnant with my son, I had a posterior placenta and started to feel him around 18 weeks. At 20 weeks I was feeling big kicks. 
I am so disappointed because from what I have read, you don’t feel baby much with an anterior placenta. 
When did you feel baby with an anterior placenta?

Answer

I have an anterior placenta and I started feeling regular movement around 18 weeks, maybe a little sooner. I am now 23 weeks and can see her moving from the outside and feel her movements like kicks and flips, getting stronger everyday.

Answer

I have an anterior placenta this time (my third) but still felt her at 13 weeks like I did with my second but only SUPER low down. I guess my placenta starts a bit above where I was feeling her according to the ultrasound tech but while I felt her early it had been very different from my first two. I could see kicks on the outside at 17 weeks with them. I’m almost 24 weeks now and hubby still hasn’t felt baby yet but I do feel her on the outside now just intermittently. I started feeling her/seeing them around 22 weeks. Except for that very low patch every once in awhile she’d punch in that low window and I saw that earlier but she’s head down so that only happened a couple times. I started feeling her a lot more around 20 weeks or so but even then it was like whooshing movements not like contact kicks like my others. But now I do feel her hard little feet on the outside at times. Not sure if that’s bc shes got her feet to the side though so maybe she’s kicking beside the placenta when I feel those. It’ll be okay though! I was also super disappointed to find out since this is the last baby and feeling the movement is my FAVORITE part of pregnancy. But now there’s not a ton of difference. I assume that’ll just get more true the further on I get.

Answer

Nothing consistent until about 27-28. I felt her sooner but not everyday until then.

Answer

15 weeks.

Answer

I'd say around 19-20weeks is when I felt my daughter. You feel the kicks more inside than being outside. Like closer to your back. Idk how to explain. Once she was bigger, it felt the same to me as it did with my son who was a posterior. You could still feel full on kicks if you placed your hand on my belly.

Answer

26-28 weeks. By 28 weeks I was sure it was a baby moving. My husband never felt baby and we never saw baby on the outside.

Answer

My aunt has ap and she felt her baby kick just recently at 22 weeks

Answer

FTM with AP...I started feeling flutters around 20 weeks. Now that I am 28 weeks, I feel baby more consistently, but I still wouldn't describe them as "big kicks". Just started to be able to see movement from the outside and my husband has been able to feel movements about three times. It is a little disappointing and definitely makes counting kicks a bit more stressful. On the positive side, it hasn't caused any complications.
