Csection mamas -question

homediva

I had a csection in August 11. I'm curious if other csection mamas are finding that they don't feel movement yet? I know it's still early (I'm 18 weeks) and I also have an anterior placenta but not feeling baby is putting my pGal brain into overdrive! Anyone have any thoughts on if a previous section desensitizes you to movement?

I had a c/s with DD and am feeling movement -- I will be 20 weeks on Wed.

But with your anterior placenta, it's totally normal for you not to feel movement. I had one with DD and it took me forever to feel her -- try not to worry!

Thanks girl! I had an anterior placenta with my son too - I never felt constant movement like some people seem to but I feel like I felt him by 18 weeks! I wish I had kept better track, maybe it was later!

I bet it has more to do with your placenta vs csection. I have had 3 sections and i have felt baby moving like crazy the past 2 days. I'm 17+1.

I'm not feeling anything yet either and have an anterior placenta. I felt DD at 13 with an anterior placenta. But it is true I have no feeling below my navel since c/s.

Okay thanks - stupid anterior placenta!!

I had a c section August 2012. I am 16 weeks. I have only felt the baby move a few times. The only problem I ran into is trying to find the heart beat when I was around 12 weeks. It took two nurses. I guess the scar tissue makes it harder.

I'm 19w with an anterior and just felt LO move for the first time about a week ago. I felt dd really early though, so I may be super sensitive to it. I'm PgAL too- it's a total mind game and I was/remain super anxious to feel LO regularly.
