Anterior Placenta and fetal movement UPDATE

Anterior Placenta moms! I am 21wks and still haven't felt baby yet (at least I don't think I have). I know it can take up to 24wks but I'm getting antsy. Anyone else with me?

Also, I have an anterior placenta but started feeling movement a couple weeks ago. Mostly when I am lying down after eating.

I too am Anterior, and I feel baby move maybe once every couple of days. Only on the inside and they are very light movements so sometimes I'm not sure.  

Easier said then done, but try to be patient and I'm sure the kicks will get stronger to where you know what you are feeling.  

Do you have a doppler?  I know for me listening, to LO's heart beat and hearing the movements helps to ease my mind where I can't feel her too often.

I have an AP again this time (did with my first).  I do feel movement pretty much daily and have felt flutters for weeks...but it is my third too

I'm a FTM and have AP. I think I have felt the baby move but sometimes I won't feel it for days in between. I'm 19 weeks. My co worker didn't feel her baby move until 24 weeks, she was super stressed about it. Just try to relax. Have you been able to see the baby moving on a US?

Baby's very active on U/S, I'm sure all is fine, I'm just jealous of everyone taking about feeling their LO

There are times I think I may have felt her but then I usually fart so I'm just waiting for those distinct 'that was it!' movements!

It's an update/check-in from the original post from a couple weeks ago.

They didn't tell me what's going on w my placenta. I'm 21 wks and still just feel flutters and just from time to time. My doc said you may not feel kicks and constant movement til 28 wks
