Anterior placenta-will twinges become more forceful? 22 weeks

I can feel very very mild twinges fairly regularly but never anything significant like rolls, or proper movement. I can sense mild spasms or mild prods. I don’t notice unless I’m concentrating/not busy. I assume the anterior placenta is cushioning things but it’s still a bit worrying. I know everyone is diff. But just wondering when to expect ‘proper’ stronger sensations?

I have an anterior placenta too and started feeling slightly twinges at around 21 weeks I'd say. By 25-26 weeks I was feeling definite kicks! I'm 35 weeks now and can't remember what it was like to not feel baby move ha

Feels like a long time to wait, but also reassuring! Thank you

I had an anterior placenta with my first and felt the first flutters of movements around 22/23 weeks.

They did get a bit stronger and more regular towards the third trimester but never enough for anyone else to feel or see from the outside and I really had to be concentrating to feel anything.

I had a lot of issues with reduced movements as there were days when I'd feel nothing at all - even when i had extra scans, I could be sat there looking at DD spinning around like crazy on the screen yet i'd feel absolutely nothing! So weird.

My daughter was fine and is now a very lively 4.5 year old. I have a posterior placenta this time round and it's been a completely different experience for me.

Thank you, hope they get stronger, constant worry if not but good to know it’s not unheard of. The midwife said I should be feeling more which wasn’t helpful.
