Anterior placenta movements?

I’m currently 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant! Was told I had an anterior placenta and movements might be less noticeable and come later.
When has anyone else started feeling movement with an anterior placenta?
I thought I’ve felt on and off flutters but not 100% sure yet

I didn’t feel anything I was 100% sure was movement until I was 21 weeks. First baby, anterior placenta. Ever since then its just been more and more movements and more intense! I’m 32 weeks now x

Hi I have an anterior placenta too! Definitely felt less this pregnancy and much later but now I am almost 23 weeks and feeling lots!

Had ‘is that movement?’ moments from 18ish weeks. Proper kicks from around 22 weeks onwards (25+4 now) but to the sides of my bump only. I can vaguely feel movement elsewhere but it’s muffled quite a bit.

What I have found is that it depends how the baby is lying and that ours tends to move position over a number of days. So I’ll have a day or so where they’re lying vertically and I won’t feel many definite kicks. But when they’re lying across my front, I’ll get booted in the side and feel it more!

Hey, I am 20 weeks today and I think I started feeling little flutters at around 17 weeks but lately I don't feel hardly anything at all. I'm not sure if these 'flutters' were baby or not. I also have an anterior placenta x

About 23ish weeks for movement and little kicks and then full on big kicks with lots of movement from 30ish weeks

15 weeks with an anterior placenta. At 20 weeks she could kick so hard she’d move my lanyard at work. She was/is a little pippi longstocking when it comes to strength.

13 weeks. I wouldn't have known that it was her if I hadn't had ultrasounds for hours on end a few times per week around that time. That's when it clicked that what I felt and saw at the screen was her. Otherwise I really wouldn't have realised because it was so subtle.

Didn't end well though.

But if you feel a quick subtle heartbeat a bit on the side, or a plok feeling really subtle, or a little bit of wind, that's probably it.

Also anterior placenta, i'm 19 weeks, second pregnancy (not anterior last time). This time i started feeling the fluttering earlier than last time, i think it was easier to recognise it. But im not really feeling regular kicks yet when i was last time. He was VERY active in my scan yesterday so there's lots going on that im not aware of!
