Anterior Placenta

Hi ladies, I'm 14 weeks today and found out yesterday that I have an anterior placenta. Anyone else have the same / did it cause any dramas for you?

I had this with my first and it caused no issue other than a delay in when I could feel him move! My Dr never even mentioned it to me I just noticed it on my results online

I had an anterior placenta and the only "drama" it caused was not being able to feel the baby until a lot later in my pregnancy. I would say close to 25+ weeks or so. Also the movements were light, so sometimes it was hard to feel her move. That was it though.

I had it. I felt very occassional movement at 22 weeks but nothing consistent until closer to 30. And what I did feel was either very high or very low...around the placenta. I didn't feel much that was going on directly behind it.

This should present no other issues for your pregnancy, unless it moves to being placenta previa.

Thanks ladies, good to know. Frustrating that it can delay us feeling our bubs move though but never mind.

I have it this pregnancy which was already high risk because DS was preterm, but now I am an extra special snowflake because my anterior placenta is right on top of my c section scar, so I'm at high risk for placenta accreta. I've been feeling DD since 15 weeks, so it doesn't always mean you won't feel baby till later on.
