Baby movements at 23 weeks

[bankie123]

Hi

I am looking for some reassurance. I am 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby and starting feeling a few movements from my baby a few days before my 20 week scan. I have days where the baby is really active and I feel lots of movements within 10 mins and other days, like yesterday and today, where I feel the odd kick - maybe 10-20 movements a day. Is this normal? I also have an anterior placenta so I dont know if this is also causing me not to feel too much movement. Any help/advice is gratefully received!

Thanks!

I seem to remember the same sort of thing, some days very active and others didn't feel v. much (I had anterior placenta too).

If you're worried, have a cold drink and lie down and that should get baby going

I have an anterior placenta, apparently we just wont feel baby move as much. Mine is moving just about as much as yours :)
Loud noises and sweet food get my baby wiggling, my trip to the cinema was eventful.

If you are worried try having a chat with your midwife.

Yep, I've got an anterior placenta and the consultant said it will cushion a lot of the baby's movements. At 25 weeks they are still very small but definitely there, so I'm not too worried.

I could've written your post OP. I Am only 20+3 weeks and too have an anterior placenta had my 20 week scan Monday and then yesterday felt loads of gentle movement. Today....sod all guess it's good that baby has a bit more protection though. Congratulations though!
