I'm 26 weeks pregnant with
My 2nd DC and I have an anterior placenta. I felt movement around 20 weeks I would say although somewhat muffled.

Now I am feeling him a lot more, yesterday for example my stomach was visibly moving from the outside most of the night, but then I'll have a day today when the movements are so much more subdued. I have felt him move now and then throughout the day, just not in the same way.

Has anyone else had this experience? I had a posterior placenta with my first so never felt
Like this I don't think, although that was 3
Years ago! I'm wondering if it's to do with where they are positioned or whether I need to worry more?

Didn't want to read and run!
I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and I had a very similar experience to you, I would have days of really active baby then a quieter day where movements were either not as powerful or just didn't seem as frequent! Honestly, I do still get this and it's usually a Friday! I also have an anterior and I went to triage last week and the Dr there did say it could still affect movements even when baby is running out of room!
They did keep saying though that I'd done the right thing and they would rather check 100 times and nothing be wrong than someone put it off and miss something so if you are worried I would ring.

Sorry that was longer than expected! 🙈

@FirstT1meMum thanks so much for your reply! It's good to know now that I'm not the only one who seems to have e this and really interesting about how an anterior placenta can still affect the movement seven when bigger as all I've read so far is that it just delays feeling it then there's no difference later on!

I will certainly ring triage if I get worried- I have a panic when he's quieter then the day after he's back to kicking everywhere so it kind of seems to have been his pattern the last week or two. One day crazy one day quieter!
