Yes fine. You might feel a bit less kicking until you are further along because of where the placenta is, but there is nothing to worry about.

Mine is at the front too and, as MrsHappy says, it means you feel a lot less kicking. It's sort of muffled by the placenta, IYSWIM.

My placenta is at the front for the first time (was at the back with previous three pgs). I noticed movements were as normal at first, but after about 30 weeks it felt a bit like the baby was kicking a big cushion all of the time, so my whole stomach moves rather than seeing little arms and legs darting about!
As long as the placenta is high and not low it is nothing to worry about.
