Feeling movements but not really seeing them?

Question

So I️ am 30 weeks pregnant and I️ have an anterior placenta. I️ didn’t start feeling my baby move until later on. I️ can feel him move and sometimes my belly will jerk when he does, but I️ don’t ever see him moving like crazy against my belly... has anyone else experienced this? Most people I️ know who are pregnant have these crazy awesome videos where you can see the baby moving around, pushing the belly up, even hands and feet pushing out.... but I️ haven’t really gotten to experience any of that :( I️ didn’t know if it could be because of the positioning of my placenta. Anyone else?

Answer

I’m 34 weeks with an anterior placenta and I can see it now, been that way for the last few weeks. It’s super uncomfortable at times. But definitely seeing and feeling harder lumpy areas pop up from the outside. But yeah not as defined as some videos I’ve seen people posting which is okay with me!

Answer

I’m 37 weeks and have an anterior placenta and a super active baby. Only recently have I been able to see distinct Alien-movie-like movements even though he’s been a jumping bean from 16 weeks. I think once they get big enough(and he’s measuring above 90th percentile) you can see it, placenta cushion in the way or no!

Answer

I'm almost 27 weeks and also have an anterior placenta. I feel tons of movement, but have yet to be able to have anyone feel it from the outside. At my last appt she kicked the doppler like crazy and my doc said that I should be thankful for my anterior placenta or she would be beating me up being so active! I'm hoping my husband and daughter get to feel her kick though. I'm excited for that to happen.

Answer

I have an anterior placenta and my movement looks like quivers or ripples. I’m 29 weeks and would love to see a foot or hand too.

Answer

it's because of the placenta unfortunately you may never experience it with an anterior placenta I watch my tummy at night hoping I might see a movement but my doctor said I may never
