Am just about 24 weeks pregnant with a postierer placenta first pregnancy, still havent felt any movement yet? A know anterior placenta can make it harder to feel movement but that isnt the case with me having posterior placenta. Anyone with posterior placenta not feel movements by 24 weeks???

I felt DS1 at about 22 weeks so I’m not sure how common 24 weeks is. If you’re concerned ring your midwife or maternity day unit

I'm 22 weeks with a posterior placenta and I've felt movement for about 2 weeks now. My last midwife call, she told me if I don't feel anything by 24 weeks to call them. So I'd def give them a ring to just put your mind at rest xx

My midwife said to me at my 16 week app that if I don't feel anything by 22 weeks to call them. She did say the normal advice is 24 weeks but by the time apps and things are made it's more like 23/24 anyway so she'd rather have the apps made ready for when I hit 24 weeks iyswim. Id give them a call x

Glad everything's looking good. I couldn't feel DD's movements but when they checked she was very active.

Having a bath and running the tap while you’re in it, eating sweets (like jelly sweets) or drinking a cold glass of water are the ways I get my baby to move a lot if I want to feel him. I first felt him when I was lying in bed one night and that’s still the main time I can feel him move

With my first I didn't feel any movements until 24 weeks and I was assured it was completely normal . I'm sure you'll feel them soon :)

I'm 23 weeks and because I started feeling regular movements fairly early for a first pregnancy (17 weeks), I'm constantly paranoied when I don't feel baby for a couple of hours! And then I'm worried the kicks aren't strong enough ! I seems we can't win lol.
