Hello. I am 13.5 weeks preg with bub number 2 and the ultrasound doctor has confirmed an anterior placenta and said that I wouldn't feel movements until around 24 weeks. That seems like a really long time to me as I am sure that I started to feel flutters by 14 weeks with DD and proper movements by 18 weeks. Its strange to think that it could be another 10 weeks before I feel anything.
So I am looking forward to hearing your experiences with an anterior placenta. TIA.
20-21 weeks for definate movement. I think there may have been something earlier but i didnt recognise it.
i had one of these at my 19wk scan, but i had been feeling bub move since 12wks 5 days and they just got stronger and stronger'
I guess each women maybe different to when you will start to feel anything
Goodluck though and i hope you start to feel something soon
I had pinchy feelings kind of felt like around the top of my cervix or pelvic floor? around 16 weeks. I have been feeling him now getting stronger since 20 weeks when we had the ultrasound. He doesn't feel comfortable when I'm sitting upright and moves around then.
About 22-24 weeks for me. This baby has been my only one that I have had an anterior placenta with.
I had an anterior placenta both times.
With DS1 it was around 23-24 weeks before I felt movements, but it was much earlier with DS2, around 17-18 weeks.
I don't know whether this was because it was second time around and I just knew what to expect to feel, or whether it wasn't right at the front or what the story was butnit was much earlier and I also felt a lit more movements throughout mympg Than I did with ds1.
Dd1- no anterior placenta, felt her at about 17-18 weeks
Dd2- no anterior placenta, felt her at about 15 weeks
This one I have an anterior placenta and at 20 weeks couldn't feel anything. I was actually starting to worry but at my scan last week baby had normal amount of movements.
But I have asked lots of women the same thing as was worried. I found that for some it makes no difference at all but others it does. I guess it depends on both the exact position of the placenta and the the baby.
i had a fundal placenta with DD1 and felt her move at 19 weeks. with this bub i have an anterior placenta and didn't feel "proper" movment until about 21-22 weeks
I had one with Tara and again now with this pregnancy.
With Tara I felt her move around 20 weeks.
With this pregnancy I have felt flutters around 15 weeks and only this weekend 18/19 weeks can I feel more movement just above my pubic bone but I know its bubs cause I know the feelings!
This is my first and I began to feel something feint at about 19 weeks but it wasn't until about 20 weeks that I realised it was my bub. At 20 weeks I might have only felt something about 3 times a day. I'm 35 weeks now and I feel heaps.
Winter, this is my third anterior placenta and it’s always been around 22-24 weeks for me.
A very definite movement on one day at 18 weeks, then nothing until 22 weeks.
Hi. anterior placenta here and felt movements from around 15-16 weeks, must depend where abouts it actually is, I feel movements really low down :)
Yep anterior placenta and i have started feeling movement from 15 weeks, so just in the last week. It is the fluttery movements and not very strong. I may not have known it was the baby at first if it was not my second pregnancy, but they are getting stronger and is definitely noticeable.
DD1 - 22 weeks
DD2 - 24 weeks
DD3 (this pregnancy) - was about 20ish weeks as well I think.
I have only had one placenta that wasn't anterior and that was with DS - and I felt his movements at 16-17 weeks.
I was told I had an anterior placenta, but it's up the top, more near my ribs? Anyhoo, I felt flutters around 14-16 weeks and proper movements around 18-19 weeks I think :)
I felt flutters around 16 weeks if I was reclining or lying on my back. I think definite movements I noticed around 19-20 weeks, but throughout my pg they were either really high or really low. At my 19 week scan we saw DD kick quite a bit, but I didn't feel a thing.
DD2 had anterior placenta and i felt her at 17 weeks
