apprently mines in the same spot as last time low and anterior which the ultrsound tech said was weird as i had placenta previa with my first and the placenta only moved enough for a vaginal birth at 30 odd weeks
im 20 weeks and only feel nudges not proper movments but it was the same with ds i felt nudges up untill he was big enough to start proding stuff and moving around
I had an anterior placenta with DD, and felt movements from around 19w onwards, DH didn't feel them to much later. I also worried a couple of times in the 3rd trimester, because hadn't felt DD for a few hours, but each time, when the hooked me up to check at hosp, she was fine and kicking - the monitor picked it up, but I couln't feel it, so the mw reckons she was probably kicking into my placenta.
This time around my placenta is posterior and I felt movements much ealier, DH also felt wiggle at around 19wks which shocked us both!
DD was also posterior, and I'd heard the same as NikW, in that some think because they prefer to face the placenta, it might cause them to be posterior, but there are also other things that cause OP's so its nothnig to worry about
I had an anterior placenta at 12 weeks, felt movement about 18 weeks. When I went for 19 week scan my placenta has moved to posterior. I asked Ob and they said that it can move around in early pregnancy and they are not too bothered about positioning until later on, unless it is very low and likely to cause probs. I didn't think that it could move and that once it implanted it was stuck there but obviously not, unless bub has been swinging from it!
