Anyone else with anterior placenta?

Question

I’m 25 weeks and 3 days and barely feel my little girl move :( for those of you who had or have anterior placenta, when were able to start feeling your baby move a lot? Just want to see what everyone else’s experience is!

Answer

I’m 25w4d pregnant with a little girl and I have an anterior placenta as well. I was feeling small butterfly like movements at about 20 weeks. At 23 weeks I distinctly felt her for the first time and she could be felt from the outside too. How clearly I feel her now is all dependent on her position. If she’s kicking or punching right where the placenta is, its muffled. But lucky for me, my girl likes to play soccer with my cervix and jump on my bladder. Lol I feel low movements and on the sides much more clearly. Don’t worry! Your baby is asleep 80% of the time and has a wake/sleep schedule. You just may not be noticing all the time or it could be during your sleeping hours as well. If you’re worried, try drinking orange juice (I don’t like it so I drink lemonade and get the same result) and that may get them moving. I also do “baby quakes” sometimes where I’ll poke my belly or give a little shake to get her going too. Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

I have an anterior placenta and felt kicks about 22 weeks. I have a pretty good idea where my placenta is and felt kicks on the opposite side first. Since then I have felt kicks really low and in the last week or two (27 weeks now) felt movement to the right of the placenta.

Im 25+6 and found out today i have an anterior placenta. I had a strange experience because i started feeling her kick at 20 weeks and from 20-24 weeks i felt her kick all the time and they were strong. Then all of a sudden after 24 weeks i stopped feeling her move. I got worried after a couple days of no movement, got worried and went to labour and delivery where they monitored the babies heartbeat.. but baby girl wanted them to think i was crazy so while i was there she started kicking up a storm and i felt them so i got sent home. That was last sunday. I went allllllll week without feeling her and decided to go back in again today. Of course as soon as i got there they hooked me up and i could feel her a lot. They did an ultrasound and told me i had an anterior placenta and thats why i couldn’t feel her. It makes no sense to me tho because i felt her constantly between week 20 and 24. Very strong kicks. And when i went into labour and delivery i could feel her very string kicks, its not like they are just light and not very obvious. So im still having a hard time understanding why i cant feel her. I went 3 days and then 7 days without any movement and i did everything i could to make her move. It definitely causes more worry but my baby is perfectly healthy!!

Answer

Im a first time mum and knew for a fact I felt her at 16 + 2 and then at 16 +4 at my gender scan they told me I had an anterior placenta. But I have felt baby move everyday since 16 + 2 except one day at 16 + 5 but that was a busy day announcing to family. At first I only felt her lying down flat on my back if I had a full bladder, then it started happening empty bladder, slightly sitting, to sitting and now I feel her standing ever so slightly. Sometimes more then others when she does a bigger kick. 
I’m 23 weeks tomorrow and me and my partner can feel her and see her when shes moving. At first her kicks were low to the right but now i feel them all over the place :) 
Every ones body’s are so different it’s amazing. I honestly did think I’d feel her until a lot later from what I read but I was amazed to feel her so early.
