Anterior placenta, first pregnancy - when did you feel movements?

[Moosey898]

As the title said, I'd love to know when those of you with anterior placenta felt movements in your first pregnancy. Both the initial quickening "flutters" and also full on movements.

With my first pregnancy, anterior placenta, I first felt proper kicks at around 20 weeks, I had been feeling some fluttering and a feeling little bubbles/something moving around for a few weeks before this

Hi @Moosey898

I had an anterior placenta with my first pregnancy. I recall feeling initial 'flutters' around 16-17 weeks and more pronounced movement around 23-24 weeks, although at times I did have to really concentrate/relax to feel the movement as the placenta really did mask movement a lot of the time and I did not pick up on it unless it was a really big kick or roll. Everyone is different but this might give you a rough sort of idea. Hope all goes well x

I'm 24 weeks and I'm questioning what I'm feeling. So maybe from 20ish weeks?

I had an anterior placenta with my first and I felt the first ‘pop’ of movement at 18 weeks on my honeymoon.

This bought a tear to my eye! What a magical time to start feeling baby 😊

I have an anterior placenta and felt sure I was feeling flutters from around 20 weeks. From about 23/24 weeks they felt like stronger kicks that my family could feel when they touched my bump.

I think I felt things around 16-20 weeks, but I wasn’t certain I was feeling a baby until about 22 weeks. I know I could feel it at 23 weeks distinctly.

I’ve only ever had an anterior placenta so I’m still curious if even the big kicks feel bigger without one!

Thanks all! I'm nearly 19 weeks and not sure if what I'm feeling is flutters or not. I don't really have a bump and it's hard to believe I'm pregnant most days 🤦🏼‍♀️
