3rd pregnancy all with a anterior placenta. I've been feeling this baby since 16 weeks which is really really early but I think it's because they said my placenta is low and my 3rd. With previous 2 I was around 23/24 weeks until I could feel then and then I was feeling them regularly straight away. I think they do say that if you've got a anterior placenta then the placenta does end up cushioning the kicks so you may not feel them as early as someone with a placenta in a different position.

Hi, I didn't feel the twins kick until 24 weeks, I have a anterior placentas so I know your pain in wanting to feel them kick. I'm currently 27+1 and they are moving alot though admittedly I still mostly feel them low down kicking near my hips rather than up high or near the front of my belly button.

First kicks were about 22 weeks but I didn’t feel her regularly until about 33 weeks - I found it so difficult as everyone says you need to be aware of their pattern. 36+3 now and I do feel her regularly throughout the day but still couldn’t say she has a pattern 🤷🏻‍♀️

I felt the first flutters around 18 weeks even though this is my first and an anterior placenta. Definite kicks from around 22 ish weeks.

Anterior placenta and felt flutters from about 21 weeks, definite kicks from about 24 weeks

Anterior placenta and 36 weeks pregnant. I’m having extra monitoring because I go several days between feeling movements.

Hi were nearly due date buddies I am 19 +1 today and not felt a thing. This is baby #3 and on #2 I had the same thing and didnt feel anything till 21 weeks. I really thought being my third I would feel it earlier but nope even a flutter here so far. Its so nerve wracking isn't it.

Anterior placenta and first obvious movement at 20 weeks x

xoxochellexoxo · 16/02/2021 21:05

@MrsMDD aw wow! I am due 11th july. At my 12 week scan she did say its more towards 24 weeks for FTM but i had a cheeky early scan last week and the lady told me it was anterior and that i would feel baby kicks just perhaps not as strong or frequent, i have my 20 week scan next thurs so will ask more questions ☺️

I'm 22 weeks with anterior placenta and haven't felt a thing 🤔

Second baby anterior, 19+2. Movements very different to first pregnancy.

Leala20 · 17/02/2021 07:51

First time pregnant, almost 21 weeks and finally felt small individual kicks ( i think) over the last couple of days on my right hand side lower bottom but with my hand down. Not sure I would be able to feel it without my hand on. My midwife told me 22 -24 weeks.

Marilla1966 · 17/02/2021 08:08

I had this with my first. Didn’t feel any movements until about 24 / 25 weeks.

xoxochellexoxo · 17/02/2021 11:57

Thankyou ladies fingers crossed for some movement in the coming weeks x

19wks with my 3rd which was anterior. 1, 2 and 4 I felt much earlier (posterior) this pregnancy DC5, is posterior and I didn't really feel them until 22wks.

AegonT · 17/02/2021 14:16

20 weeks exactly for my first pregnancy - I had an anterior placenta, it was just flutters. I have a posterior placenta this time and felt movement at 15 weeks, clear kicks soon after. The amount of movement I feel this time is much more too.
