1st time with anterior placenta with 3rd baby

[L00k4m3x]

I’m finding this pregnancy so different and I really think it’s because of having an anterior placenta. I just don’t feel pregnant because I hardly ever feel her move. I’m 20 weeks pregnant.

I feel her occasionally when I lay down at night but they really are the tiniest of taps. I know 20 weeks is still early for movement but I felt my two sons at 16-17 weeks and it was every single day from then on. Obviously I had posterior placentas which clearly makes a huge difference.

I also have a significantly smaller bump
this time compared to my second where I was huge already and by 24 weeks I looked full term. I don’t know, I just go about my days forgetting I’m pregnant and it’s a really weird feeling. If I hadn’t had 5 scans already I’d be certain I’d made the whole thing up!

Anybody else felt like this with an anterior placenta because of lack of movement?

I had a posterior placenta with my first and an anterior placenta with my second and it definitely feels different. I remember starting to feel movement around 20 weeks, but they were nowhere near obvious. However later on in the pregnancy I could feel him a lot more.

FTM so nothing to compare it to but I'm 31 weeks with an anterior placenta. Felt tiny flutters at 19 weeks but nothing proper until 23 weeks and only felt her daily from 28 weeks still no real pattern though. Had no symptoms throughout and still feel pretty normal so know what you mean..it really does vary person to person and even with different pregnancies.

I had an anterior placenta with my second. It took longer to feel movements but by my third trimester they were just as strong as they were with my first baby.

I had an anterior placenta with my baby and was in the day unit 3-4 times with reduced movement. Turns out he was moving loads I just couldn't feel it. I think I first felt flutters around 24 weeks. But all way through the movements weren't very strong and some days I would go all day hardly feeling anything. It wasnt very often I could actually see the movements either.

Now as he's 11 weeks tomorrow, I wonder how the hell I didn't feel him as his kicks are so strong!

I had an anterior placenta with my first and was so shocked by how much I could feel with my second (posterior placenta). I couldn't believe I could just feel her moving around while I was walking, rather than only feeling her when I was lying still, or when she did really big kicks.

Came to say the exact same thing... didn't realise how different it was! There is a silver lining though... I never had the rib kicks, or anything remotely uncomfortable last time and this time at 30 weeks I'm already going "ouch" on occasion!
