Who else has been told that they have an anterior placenta?

DianaChristineB · February 2012

I heard it makes it harder to feel early fetal movement. Bummer! It this true?

I don't have an anterior placenta, but yes it's true it may take longer to feel movement.

At our last appointment, the dr mentioned the baby was behind the placenta (which made seeing him difficult) - I took this to mean I have an anterior placenta.

I had one with Lucas. I didn't feel flutters until 18 weeks, and no outside kicks until around 21 or 22, I can't remember exactly now.

I've got one too. Haven't felt any/much movement, which of course I wouldn't expect to anyways yet (only 15.5 weeks). But OB always finds HB on the doppler right away these days, so maybe its shifted? or she's just super talented. I hope both!

I had one with DS#1. I didn't feel a ton of movement. I never felt big rolling movements like other people all talked about and it did cause me to make two trips to the ER for monitoring when I wasn't feeling anything late in pregnancy.

I have one. I've heard that it can make u/s pics fuzzy as well. I found my baby's HB with my home doppler at 9 w + 6 d but at times its been hard to find it... well not anymore but it was around 10-12 weeks. I haven't felt anything yet... I keep waiting to feel something though. I'm kind of bummed about having to wait to feel the baby

I have one too, my Doctor has not had a problem finding the hear beat on the doppler. I feel kicks on the inside, but not outside.

Yup, with my first pregnancy, I had one. I felt my first flutters around 17 or 18 weeks and I think that my husband felt kicks for the first time a few weeks after that.

By the end though I was feeling a totally normal amount of movement and could feel the big rolls and see his little arms/legs/elbows sticking up all over the place

I was also told this at today's appt. I asked about the reduced ability to feel movement and he told me I wouldn't feel anything for several weeks anyway regardless

See this does worry me. I forsee a lot of freakouts in my future.
