Unsure if I’m feeling baby movements or not!

I’m 16 weeks and for the last 4/5 days I’ve been feeling little movements, popping etc in my lower belly.

I have an anterior placenta so assumed I wouldn’t feel anything until a bit later on.

This is my 3rd pregnancy but first pregnancy in the 2nd trimester!

Is this possible to feel movements this early?

Hi op. It sounds like it is movements. I had an anterior placenta and like you felt movements very early on ,around 17 weeks. I didn't really believe it because you are told it's much later with anterior but looking back I'm certain it was.

Yes it is Smile I started feeling movements at 12 weeks(I know, sounds crazy Hmm)but this is my second pregnancy so knew what I was looking for. My midwife asked me at 16 weeks if I had started feeling baby yet Smile I started to feel movements about once a day at 16 weeks.

Felt movement at 15 weeks this time around with anterior placenta, very subtle though! With my first I felt nothing until 24/25 weeks and was anterior too.
