    It think it's a movement 'relative' to a fixed position (eg, cervix, scar) as the uterus stretches, not an actual movement...

    :yeahthat:

    Think of your uterus like a balloon stretching - it moves with the balloon as opposed to on its own if that makes sense.

    FWIW, this is my 3rd pregnancy with an anterior placenta, and no times has it attached to my c-section scar. So be reassured that even if its close it doesn't mean its attached for sure
