Could I be feeling baby kick? 13 weeks FTM w/ anterior placenta

Question

I’m a first time mom, 13 weeks pregnant with my first baby, but baby’s been measuring about a week ahead at each ultrasound. Sometimes a feel these random very light “flutters” once or twice a day and I could swear it’s the baby but I was told I probably wouldn’t experience kicks until at least 20 weeks with an anterior placenta…

Answer

I have had anterior placentas with my last two babies (3rd and 4th) and felt them both at 11w.  The movements did get really muffled though from 14-17 weeks though as the placenta grew bigger than baby then.  By 18w tho, I could see kicks from the outside and SO could feel them

Answer

Everybody is different. Even with an anterior placenta, depending on if it’s higher or lower you might feel kicks at different times than others. 
I have a high anterior placenta and skipped the flutters stage (or must’ve mistaken them for gas) and went straight to strong kicks my husband could feel from the outside at the end of 18 weeks.

Answer

I had a anterior placenta and had felt baby at 14weeks by 16 weeks he was verrryyyy active I could even get small kicks on camera. So it’s very possible. Having a anterior placenta didn’t stop me from feeling movements early. Didn’t even know I had a anterior placenta until 20 weeks

Answer

On baby #4 but my first anterior placenta. I felt tiny poke feelings at 18 weeks and full kicks at 22 weeks . I think it really just depends exactly we’re your placenta is . Mine is across my belly button area .
