anterior placenta & fetal movement

If you have an anterior placenta, when did you first feel the baby move?  I read an article that said that it can delay the mother feeling fetal movement, but no approximate amount of delay was given.  I know it's different for every pregnancy, but I'd love to hear your experiences.

    Hi!  I have one and it took me till 24 weeks to feel him move.  I was so anxious and frustrated but now I feel him!  I love every single moment!!!  My dr. told me that by 28 weeks it would be more regular.  I'm 27 now and it's not regular but I do feel him at different points during the day.

    Hi! We have the same due date and I have an anterior placenta as well.. I started feeling movement about a week or two ago.. I know I was past 18 weeks..  I still only feel it in one spot..  which for me is on my left side, really low.. Like right now I'm sitting and the spot where I feel her is under my belly, like between my belly and my lap.. I can actually feel her right now.. Which, according to my theory is probably where the placenta ISN'T in the way? Who knows.. I could be crazy.. but I might ask my Dr when I go in next week.

    They feel like little kicks to me.. but when I had my u/s a week ago, her head was on that side.. so I don't know if they are punches, or headbutts. or just squirming, or if she just moved..

    Hi there,

    I also have an anterior placenta. I started to feel regular movement around the 26/27th week. To be honest, some days I detect a pattern and then there are days when she is really quiet.

    It does make it difficult to monitor kick counts. My doc said that if I am ever in doubt, then I should eat something sweet and then lay on my left side... that should get a response from baby.

    I didn't feel movement until my 20th week, and even now I feel it more intermittently than most, I think.  At first I could only feel it really low or far to the side.  At my 20 week ultrasound we could see the baby punching and kicking and I couldn't feel a thing!

    I've always suspected I have one- but have never asked. It took me 23 weeks to feel it
