Fundal anterior placenta

[L00k4m3x]

Has anybody else has this placenta placement before and did it affect movements?

This is my third baby and my placenta was low lying with my other two and I felt them both moving by 16/17 weeks.

I will be 18 weeks this week and I can’t lie I’m getting paranoid at why I haven’t felt this baby yet. When I google the placenta placement it doesn’t look as though it should affect movement.

I had my gender scan a week a go and saw baby was absolutely fine, but I have my midwife appointment Thursday and I’m terrified she won’t find a heartbeat, it’s making me incredibly anxious.

Bump. Anybody? 😩

I think it’s quite common @L00k4m3x I haven’t been pregnant before so have nothing to compare to but I’ve felt movement since 20 weeks and never been in for monitoring. None of the midwives have ever been concerned by it.

I’m 20weeks and my placenta is on my back wall and I still only felt movement this last week! This is not my first baby was so I was worried too but Everything fine on 20week scan!

I've had two anterior placentas. I felt movements at about 18/19 weeks with my second but not until 21ish weeks with my first. I can definitely feel more kicks this second time around so I think the baby also plays a part in it all - even when the midwife said he was hiding behind my placenta during a Doppler check I could still feel him kicking away. I think when they say that it doesn't effect movement is that once you've felt them and now their norm it shouldn't effect that if that makes sense?
