When should I start getting concerned 😟 and how far along were you? Please read description first!!!!!

Question

They told me at my 14 week appointment that my babies placenta was in the front instead of in the back like most women (nothing to be concerned about with that one, he said it was normal), but because of the placement they told me I would probably be closer to 20-22 weeks when I can feel him move/have my baby bump pop out. I’m 17 weeks and 4 days and I’m pretty sure I haven’t actually felt movement yet. So my question for the ladies with your LO’s placenta in the front how far along were you when you felt the first movement?

Answer

I didn't feel consistent movement until 25 weeks with my anterior placenta. You don't need to worry until 28 weeks

Answer

If your doctor told you that you wouldn't feel anything until 20-22 weeks, I would not be concerned until at least after that timeframe has passed.

Answer

i actually felt the first movements at 16. they were very inconsistent those first few weeks though, then i started feeling the movements daily. he was a strong baby though! i got visible kicks on camera at 5 months.

Answer

When I was pregnant with my son I had an anterior placenta. I didn't start feeling kicks/movements until about 22-23w(and they were very infrequent). When he got a little bigger and stronger I was grateful for that cushion 😂

Answer

20w1d and still waiting. I’m not sure if I’ve felt a few movements already or if it’s in my head lol. We had our anatomy scan yesterday, all was well, baby boy measuring 5d ahead, wiggling around like crazy. Patiently waiting each day for that first obvious kick!! 🥰🥰🥰 Tech said it would likely be a few more weeks.

Answer

I was 19 weeks when I first felt flutters. Something everyone else had felt at like week 14-15. By week 21 I knew it was my son moving and not just has bubbles lol. And it wasn’t super often. I finally started feeling him A LOT and noticed patterns at like.. 26 weeks.

Answer

My best friend has this and she didn’t feel her babe until 24/25 weeks!

Answer

I was feeling flutters around 18 weeks. Very consistent movements 26+ weeks. 
At 29 weeks I was in the hospital being monitored because I didn’t feel her all day but she was just moving a ton behind the placenta. 
Now 31 weeks and she is constant!

Answer

Pregnant with my 4th, anterior placenta, first felt movement at 21 weeks. I'm 26 weeks tomorrow and I can feel a lot, and pretty hard kicks too, when I'm sitting or laying. Hardly ever feel him when I'm standing, but it does happen. I also miss a lot of the movement. The nurse used the doppler on me yesterday at my appt to check baby's heart rate and she said he kicked, you could hear the thump on the dopplar, but I didn't feel it, and I was laying down too. But I feel enough that my kids and husband have gotten to experience feeling some kicks, he's very active at night when I'm laying in bed. I can even see my belly moving from the outside sometimes when he's really active. I'm also 50 pounds overweight.
I was really imaptient and nervous myself between weeks 17-21, it was maddening. But don't worry, it will happen, and it will be wonderful and exciting when it does. Us girls with anterior placentas just have to be a bit more patient. :)

Answer

I felt flutter at 19 weeks and little taps at 20. I'm 24 weeks now and they are getting more obvious and stronger. My baby is head down so I feel the little feet kicking up by my belly button. At first I felt the taps down pretty low before baby flipped.
