    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.

    Hi guys,

    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.

    Take care and congrats.
    Tess.

    I have an anterior placenta and I started feeling around 17 weeks one day and not for a few days later, and then by 19 weeks I was feeling something most days.

    I am now 23 weeks and can feel heaps and heaps. DH has felt bubs move quite alot and last week I was on the couch watching my belly move, week before the baby kicked in the bath and moved the water!

    I think it may delay things but not by much? I must say though that I do feel/see most movements on my left side so perhaps the placenta is a little to the right?

    Hi everyone.
    Thankyou so much for the replies and support.

    I have started to feel little one move the other bnight I sat forward and felt this massive whack inside me. ( I must admit I was most probably squashing it!! ) I had another scan yesterday and the placenta is still anterior and low almost previa but I am having a caeseraen anyhow so it will pose no risk.

    I generally feel little one when I am relaxing at night on the couch the movements are getting stronger and today at work i felt it for the first time ( again sitting at my desk)

    Will keep you all informed ....
    Thanks again,
    Em

    I have an anterior placenta this time around - I am now just over 24 weeks pregnant and while I do feel movements daily, they are not nearly as strong or as often as what they were with DS - And my placenta was posterior with him. DP also cannot feel them on the outside yet either.
