Not a whole lot of movement...

Anyone else have an anterior placenta and not feeling a ton of movement? Every appointment/ultrasound has been fine and her heartbeat is good but I feel like I'm missing out on all the movement. I feel "something" sometimes but am sad that I don't feel a ton and certainly can't distinguish what the movement really is. Sad

    I have an anterior placenta but I still feel the baby regularly. I find if I lie on my side then I feel the baby a lot.

    I didn't feel it until quite late though. I'm happy with the amount of movement I feel because it's always exciting.

    I know some women get to the point of, "enough already, I need to go to sleep"

    I am so sorry!  Is this normal with an anterior placenta?  Yesterday I wasn't having a whole lot of movement in the morning and my dr. told me to drink some oj and then lay on my left side.  This did get LO moving so that I did not have to go into L&D to be monitored.

    I felt a lot less movement w/ DS than DD.  It seemed like at least 1x every day I would wonder or worry about it.  Of course, then he would move a little and I'd be reassured. 

    It sounds odd, but it used to seem like he would grow and "fill' all available space and I'd feel a lot of movement, and then the next week or so I'd pop out a little more and not feel very much for a week or so, then the whole thing would happen again.  I mean, I felt him every day, but sometimes it was so subtle, I'd sit on the couch and wait and wait...

    I have a tilted uterus, so I always thought that was the issue.  Now, this time, DD moves so much more and is so much higher she keeps me up at night.

    I have an anterior placenta and it was probably around 32 weeks or so before I started to feel regular movements.  My doctor just told me to make sure I feel him on a regular basis and that is much easier to do now that he is getting bigger.  Try not to worry, you will feel the baby more strongly soon.

    I have an anterior placenta and felt DD move around stronger between 25-27 weeks then kinda slowed down.I got a 3D ultrasound today and she was doing great! But even the movements on the ultrasound I didnt really feel much. And her HR was 150. :))
