Second baby anterior placenta

I had an anterior placenta with my first and I started to feel movement at around 18 weeks.

I am now 16 weeks with my second and an anterior placenta again and am yet to feel any movement.

I thought I would of by now as everyone's told me you feel them earlier in your second pregnancy?

Anyone not feel movement until later on in their second pregnancies?

I had anterior in both and felt nothing till 20+ weeks each time. I think it depends on exactly where it is and how your baby is lying in those middle weeks.

I had an anterior placenta in both pregnancies. First pregnancy felt movement from 16 weeks. No movement until 24 weeks this time! My midwife said it all depends where abouts the placenta is at the front, if it's high, low or middle. Plus some babies are more active than others! Even at 31 weeks I have some quiet days.

I see! I have a scan this week so will ask about position of placenta then, thank you.

Second pregnancy and I have a high, anterior placenta. I'm 22 weeks today and feeling nothing. Last pregnancy was twins and one of the placentas was anterior - started feeling movements at just over 21 weeks with that one so I'm hoping it will be soon now.

Hi
I've had a anterior placenta both times .
I felt my first baby at 19 weeks and the same for this baby. Also 19 weeks
It's only now at 26 weeks that I'm really starting to feel a lot more though.
Mine is anterior high in my 20 week scan report

Another one here who has had anterior placentas both times - first time around it was about 21/22 weeks before I felt my first proper kicks, I'm now 31 weeks pregnant with DC2 and I'd say I felt the internal 'popping' sensations from about 18 weeks but only because I recognised the feel from my first pregnancy, in terms of actual kicks I think it was around 23 weeks again!
