Anterior Placenta

[Antheia]

Another thing about Anterior placenta, does it affect how the baby sits? Like are you mor elikly to have a breech bub or a posterior bub? (even though i had a posterior bub last time, just want to know if there is a higher chance of it happening?)

I had a posterior bub, and I do remember reading that more posterior presentations have anterior placentas more with posterior babies.. But I cant remember where I read that, or if it was reliable....

Yeah there aren't any studies on this but anecdotally there seems to be a link.

Babies like to face their placentas generally so if it's on your front wall it seems more likely that baby will take up residence at your back - but it's not always the case.

My bub was persistently posterior from the time he went head down at 33 weeks, and he never turned around even in labour.

I have an Anterior placenta, and i first felt this bub at 19weeks.

Devon: My scan is on the same day as you! Can't wait to see jelly bean again!~

Antheia: I don't think I have felt movement yet either, but I don't know what I am looking for as it is my 1st, it moves but I reckon is only stretching pains...I don't know really. I hope you get movements soon, actually I hope we BOTH do Just hang in there!

I think it depends where the placenta is, do you know?? I have been feeling tiny flutters for the past week and daily for the last few days and was told at my scan that the placenta was anterior but up the top. Which makes sense coz the flutters I'm feeling are low down.

Damn about the posterior thing

I dunno, they just said it was anterior. Honestly, i probably can feel movement cause every day or so i feel something but im just passing it off as gas cause my tummy is always rumbling. Who knows.

I'm not so much worried about bub being posterior because DS was up until i started pushing him out and then he suddenly turned. I was more worried if it would be breech or not.

Nah don't stress about breech, it's just posterior positioning that's associated with an anterior placenta.
