Anterior placenta?!?

Question

Anyone else have an anterior placenta?!? I had my anatomy scan today at 19 weeks (it's a girl!!) and found out I have an anterior placenta. I swear I feel kicks and have felt movement for a few weeks now, but the ultrasound tech seemed really suprised by that. Anyone have experiences like this? Just curious. I'm hopeful it will move so I can feel more movement!

Answer

The UT tech told me I have a high placenta and that I most likely will not feel movement until 25 weeks. This is our first child. I know at night when I lay in bed I feel something sometimes. Like little bubbles popping in my belly. Or a gentle swish. Only you know your body. The Dr explained to me that the way the placenta is placed makes it sort of like a "buffer" for any movement (she said like putting a pillow on your thigh and then punching your thigh--you wouldn't feel the punch as much). So, that made sense to me. I haven't felt any jabs or kicks, just little bubbles here and there.

I have my 20 week scan on the 10th...im 20 weeks now :/ anyways I'm starting to think I may have an anterior placenta. This is babe number 2. I have felt her roll since about 14 weeks, but no kicks...not one. It is freaking me out. I just want to know that she is ok.

Answer

I have one as well and am currently 20 weeks with the karate kid since 14 weeks. This is also my second baby and the tech said usually people with an anterior placenta during their second pregnancy will feel earlier on compared to those with their first child. My friend had one with her first child a didn't feel her boy till 26 weeks.

Answer

I have an anterior, and my tech said it's a myth that I won't feel kicking because of it. She said other people just won't be able to feel the kicks as soon, but I will. I've felt kicking for a few weeks. With my son, I didn't feel kicking until much later than now!
