Hi everyone! I've lurked for quite a while, this will be my first posting in the pregnancy boards. I apologize in advance if this has been posted before.
At my NT scan, the ultrasound tech said that I have an anterior placenta. Those of you who had/have anterior placenta at 12 weeks have experience with the placenta position changing as the baby grows? When did you see these changes occur - by the 20 week anatomy scan?
Also, do you think having an anterior placenta changes how early/late your bump shows?
I've been reading about mom's with anterior placed placenta having complications with previous cesarian's and the baby's movements being cushioned and the possibility of it progressing to placenta praevia. I will be asking my OB, but my next appointment isn't until next week. I was hoping to hear from other moms to be what your experiences were. Thanks!!!
Re: Anterior Placenta changes as baby grows?
I had no problems with my c/s. It just depends on how far down the placenta goes. In my case it was covering my middle belly dead center.
I started showing way later around 24 weeks before I fully popped. Then it looked like I smuggled a basketball.

I was feeling this baby at around 14 weeks (though it was still mostly previa at the point). I don't think it dulled movement at all. I find this baby to be much more active and jabs harder than DD did.
