    With the previous 3 pregnancies I had felt movement very early (between 12 -14weeks). This time round, fourth pregnancy, I didn't feel any movements until after 18weeks! Freaked me out too. Figured I must have had an anterior placenta this time or something - but no, aparently the placenta is posterior just like the other time. So no idea why I didn't feel anything for so long.

    I have an anterior placenta and haven't felt anything yet (20 weeks tomorrow). I had my ultrasound on Fri (which was very reassuring!) and was told that I probably wouldn't feel anything - not sure if that meant for a couple more weeks or longer! Anyway, like cranky kitten said - forget the 'shoulds', what's normal for you in this pregnancy is probably just different to last time

    I felt my first move at around 21-22 weeks but with DS I only started feeling movement at 24 weeks. I didn't have an anterior placenta either but just didn't feel anything early on! I am sure bub will be kicking away and keeping you awake before long!!
