Movement?

Question

Just wondering if this is normal. I’m 24 weeks today. I have an anterior placenta. For the past week and a half I have been feeling him kick super down low a lot of the day. Since last night I don’t remember feeling him kick. Is that normal?

Answer

Yep, totally normal

Answer

Yes i have an anterior placenta as well and did not feel anything consistent till probably 27ish weeks. Some days i don’t feel her as much as others so i think it’s her positioning too🤷🏼‍♀️ i even remember at 29 weeks i felt her SUPER low (like i was scared to squat or bend over because she might fall out low) i barely felt her that day i never felt her from the out side that day but i remember her moving and i could feel her touching either my cervix or close to it felt like a Pap smear 😅 but i talk to my dr about it and she said it was completely normal and even normal for decreased movement when she’s down that low. Next day she was back up and moving as though nothing happened! But i just wanted to warn you that it might happen because i had no clue and thought i was going getting ready to go into labor soon!

Answer

Have you tried laying down and relaxing a bit to see if that will get your little one moving? I know that you do feel less movements with an anterior placenta (this is my second pregnancy and I've had an anterior placenta with both) but normally if you have already started feeling distinct movement then you should be able to feel baby moving when you relax and focus on baby. If you've been busy and not focusing on babies kicks then baby could of moved without you noticing. If you really worried though I would check in with your Dr.
