I’m constantly worrying and I can’t stop.
im 38, lost earlier in the year and currently 26 weeks now.
this is the first time having an anterior placenta and told movements will feel muffled.
but i can feel strong movements and can see my belly move.
but on the odd days I hardly feel her move, is this normal.
previous pregnancies I’ve never been so panicky but this time round I’m worried about every little thing all the time.

I had an anterior placenta with my eldest. You could only see her move if I led on my right side you couldn’t see any movement at the front at all. Luckily I only had go in once for reduced movements and she was moving the entire time according to the monitor but I didn’t feel a thing. If you don’t feel baby eat something sugary (Chelsea buns or Bakewells used to work a treat) and don’t be scared to ring triage if you’re worried. It’s what they are there for.
