Anterior placenta - key differences?

[PSL1990]

This is my second pregnancy and I have anterior placenta. Can anyone let me know the key differences they experienced in pregnancy and labour when you had anterior placenta? Thanks!

It took longer to be able to feel the baby. No other difference I was aware of.

All three of mine have been anterior placenta and alls been fine. As long as it's not blocking the exit I think it's ok.

No difference other than possibly later movements or harder to feel movements depending on the position of the placenta and baby (if baby is behind the placenta the movements are either fainter or can't be felt).
I've had it with both, first time it did affect movements but second not so much (I haven't had a decent nights sleep in weeks and EDD is still weeks away!)

As long as it's not low lying it placenta previa later on in your pregnancy there should be no different with labour/birth.

I've had two pregnancies with a posterior placenta and this one with an anterior placenta. The main differences have been how late it took me to feel movement - maybe 22 to 24 weeks instead of 17/18. The type of movement is different, I feel it at the sides and very low rather than in the middle and have never had things like elbows sticking out etc (I'm 33 weeks now). I went in for reduced movements a few weeks ago too.

I'm wondering if you're more likely to have a back to back baby? It just seems to me that logically that would be more likely.

@mistermagpie I had an anterior placenta and a back to back baby as did my sister , never linked the two though but you could be right

Only difference it makes is to feeling movement. You tend to feel it a bit later and also can struggle (depending where exactly your placenta is at the front) to feel regular / a pattern of movement.

I don't think it increases your chances of being back to back. I've had one posterior and one anterior placenta births and both were back to back

Anterior again this time and baby currently isn't back to back (please stay that way )

I have an anterior placenta and still haven't felt movement at all at 19 weeks. I'm not sure if this is normal, but seems other have similar experiences?

The only problem is when it's low lying, otherwise just annoying in terms of movement and causing more anxiety (IMHO).
