Hardly any movement at 21 weeks.

[Mum2twoBoys]

My placenta was on the front too, which did cushion the blows a bit so to speak. I didnt feel any movements until after 19weeks, plus they didnt really start getting stronger for a few weeks after that. wasnt sure they were actually kicks at first coz they were light, but then i did eventually. prob just have to wait for bub to get a bit stronger. plus the ob had trouble finding the hb on mine as well because of the placenta, so i told him where the mw normally finds it on the side and he found it too. im sure all is alright, but again if you are anxious about it talk to your midwife, im sure she can relieve any fears.

Sorry but I have no experience with placenta being anywhere but in a good position, but just wanted to say that even tho I could feel movement at 21 weeks it was very inconsistent and I worried myself silly if I went half a day without feeling bubsy move. Now, I am almost 32 weeks the little bugger doesn't stop So, I say go get it checked for your piece of mind - I did when 22 weeks as I thought I hadn't felt anything for a couple of days. Its very true that they move and you don't feel it, around 26 weeks the baby was doing a back dive on the monitor (whilst having a scan) and I didn't feel a thing!! I am sure you will be fine hun xxx

Thankyou all very much,i appreciate your comments.I will check with the m/w when i see her .Unfortunately i can only see her officially for the lactation consult as they don't have a midwife program here.I had midwife care through out my last pregnancy ,only saw a doc twice at the start,& it was the best experience!My Ob is a nice guy but he's very busy & my visits to him are very quick usually.When the m/w looked for the heartbeat when i initially saw her ,she ended up after much searching saying oh it's hiding in the corner lol(he was right down in the corner on top of my fanny)

Just an off topic question.Do i need to have a certain number of posts before i can pm someone?

Ok my pms are working nowAlso i think the little man has been reassuring me as i have gotten some nice movements from him yesterday & even when i woke up this morningStill very soft but quite definite & a little more often ,yay!

My placenta is Anterior too I seem to have a 'dead spot' at the front where I cant feel much but I do get a lot of movement down either side (more so when Im laying in bed).

I do get a few head rushes (dizziness) when baby rolls over Im guessing its because it presses on the placenta and I can feel some sort of movement at the same time.

Thanks Wannabeamumma.Yes i definitely have a spot right at the front where i can hardly feel anything & it seems to be more on either side of that it feels more noticeable.I've been really pleased that just in the last day or 2 i have gotten some definite movements,these & the comments on here have made me feel more reassured
