I have had an anterior placenta with both my DD and this pregnancy.
With my DD's pregnancy I felt the first movements at about 22 weeks and DH felt them at about 24 weeks. I never felt her kick as such, I felt headbutts in the ribs, bum shuffles down low and lots of hiccups.
This pregnancy I was a little disappointed to find out that I had an anterior placenta again as I really wanted to feel my baby kick, however it has been so different. I felt the first kicks at about 17 weeks and they progessed so fast, she is such an active baby and I feel her move alot and real kicks to! DH was able to feel the first kicks at about 21 weeks, possibly earlier if he was patient enough to sit and wait .
I hope that you are able to feel your babies kick nice and strong, it really does differ from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy.
My placenta was anterior with DD as well & I felt movement at around 19 weeks. I acutally had my ultrasound in the morning, was told it was anterior then felt movement that night!! Funnily enough DH felt the kick at the same time I did, he just happened to have his hand on my belly at the time
I had an anterior placenta too, I started feeling flutters around 22-23 weeks, but they quite quickly developed into kicking & pushing by around 25-26 as he got bigger & stronger, which was when DH could feel them too. I used to play games with him when he was active, pushing in places to see if I could get a reaction.
hi, im 21 weeks pregnant, i also have an anterior placenta and felt his first kick at 17 weeks and 4 days, now he never stops.
I wouldnt worry, if you cant feel the kicks you will prolly still feel the baby rolling around.
goodluck
Thanks ladies,
I feel a little more positive than beofre. I googled ( yes now I kow never ever google anything to do with a medical condition ! ).
I was more concerned about the previa aspect. As i am having a CS anyhow i think it should be ok.
My ob said I will have little one about 2 - 4 weeks early anyhow so this also eases my mind.

I just found out I have an anterior placenta with this pregnancy and was basically told everything by my doctor that you guys have already mentioned. I was a little disappointed at first that I possibly won't be able to feel movement as early as my first, more so for my husband as it is his first baby. But I'm just happy everything is healthy and normal
Hiya
I have had an anterior placenta with all three pregnancies and felt all babies moving around 19wks - then DH can see and feel bubs moving around 24-25wks. I think the only difference from what I have been told by people with posterior placenta is that the movement is in different places - sort of really low or really high, rather than around the belly button.
Hope that makes sense - having an anterior placenta does not indicate a low lying placenta. My sister had a posterior low lying placenta.
