Anterior placenta 24 weeks- sporadic movement?

Currently 24 weeks pregnant with my 2nd DC and this time I have an anterior placenta. Some days I can feel movements that do make my tummy wobble visually from the outside but then it seems like one day it's like this then the next day I can't feel any
Movement at all! Then the next back to kicking everywhere

Can anyone with an anterior placenta shed their experiences from around 24 weeks? I know they say to monitor patterns from 28 weeks but I'm driving myself
Neurotic already that I feel something and then nothing. I'd be going to labour triage every other day at this rate!

I had an anterior placenta with DS2 and now have again with this baby. I'm also 24 weeks but I'm afraid I have nothing helpful - I could feel very little. I ended up in triage once because it had been 24hrs with no movement... and he was fine.

The only time I can feel the current baby is if I'm lying down, so I'm just checking once a day when I go to bed. I'm fairly sure that when I was further along there were fists and feet all over the place ans the placenta position didn't matter at all 😀

My first pregnancy was so scary because I genuinely was lucky to feel anything once a day and it definitely created terrible anxiety for me. I was never told it was anterior placenta because I don’t think scans 30 years ago were as detailed but am sure that must of been why. My 2 other pregnancies were so different,constant kicks and punching!
My daughter had anterior placenta diagnosed when she was pregnant.Again she felt very little movement throughout her pregnancy and was in being monitored every week for the last few weeks. She was induced at 38 week and baby absolutely fine.
If in doubt just ask to be checked out.X

@Thankyouthankyoujellybean this is exactly how I feel! I've just felt Him wriggling slightly now I've laid still in bed but that's the first time today, thanks for sharing your experience!
