Posterior placenta - 20 weeks & not felt movement

[noaddedsugarx]

Should I be worried? Most people I’ve spoken to have felt something by now with a posterior placenta. I have my anomaly scan on Friday but the fact I haven’t felt anything is making me anxious.

Is this your first baby? If so I wouldn't worry, it's normal even with a posteria placenta to not feel movement just yet. I'm having my 4th and I've also got a l
Posteria placenta. I've only just started feeling definate movement this past week and I'm nearly 18 weeks, you usually feel it earlier with subsequent pregnancies. I would expect you'll definitely start feeling something in the next couple of weeks x

@Pennyroses yes it is my first pregnancy! that’s really reassuring thank you. I think it’s because my best friend is due the day after me with her first and she’s been feeling proper movement from about 16/17 weeks so it’s hard not to compare. also I had a gender scan at 16 weeks where she told me I had a posterior placenta and she said I should start to feel movement in the following few weeks so I was expecting it before now.

my wife carried our daughter and she didn’t feel movement until around 24 weeks but she had an anterior placenta. fingers crossed I will feel something soon x

Completely normal with your first baby. You'll start feeling regular movements real soon, I think I was about 22 weeks.

I didn't feel movement until 22-24 weeks with my first and a PP. x

Update

Anything up to 24 weeks is considered normal for a first pregnancy. Please try not to worry
