Anterior Placenta - When will I feel the baby?

KellyScott04KellyScott04 member
in 2nd Trimester

At my last appointment I found out that I had an anterior placenta which the Dr assured me was just fine and only a matter of placement. The only downside? I won't be able to feel our baby boy kick as soon as other moms who do not have an anterior placenta. I'm SO bummed bc this is our 1st and I want to feel the little guy kicking around in there. He's VERY active from seeing him on the ultrasounds. I am thankful however that we have gotten great views of him and were able to tell his gender bc I hear some mothers say that can be an issue with AP.

My QUESTION is: On average, at about how many weeks do you start to really feel the baby moving with an anterior placenta? I'm right at 20 weeks now and maybe have only felt a few flutters here and there but can't truly be sure.

    I also have an anterior placenta. I started to really notice them at 19 weeks. Now at 24 weeks I can see my stomach dancing. You will start to feel them before you know it! I know waiting sucks. Try drinking juice or cold water and then lay down, that usu

    I have an anterior placenta and I can feel sporadic movements. I can feel a few light taps with her feet and definitely feel her bumps against my bladder with her head. All the movements I've felt had been out more towards the sides of my ute rather than

    I had an anterior placenta and felt him starting around 20 weeks.  You'll feel them on the sides the most, not so much in front because that's where the placenta is.  Don't worry, you won't miss out on the kicks and jabs, you'll get them any day

    On average you can start to feel flutters anywhere from 17 to 24 weeks as a FTM. Second time moms (and more) are able to feel it earlier, usually. Regular movement is to be expected usually after 28 weeks.

    Doc said the same thing to me "Any day now!" It's just so strange to see our little guy SO active on the ultrasound and NOT be able to feel a thing. And yes, the waiting for the definite movements is like torture but other moms have told me I'll be tha

    By the way, lol, I'm new at the posting on here so sorry if my replies are sporadic and out of place. I know no one can tell me exactly when I'll feel baby but at least seeing everyone's responses, it gives me an idea. It's interesting to see wh

    I had a fully anterior placenta with my first.  I am super glad it was my first like that and not a subsequent pregnancy because it was well into the 20s before I felt her much and even at the very stinkin' end I rarely felt her all that much.

    This is my third baby and first anterior placenta. I started feeling small flutters at 16 weeks but noticed I hadn't felt much else by 20 weeks, which was strange compared to my other two pregnancies.

    I have an abyerior placenta and felt him for the first time at 20 weeks. It took a few days after that to figure out that's what it was though.

    I felt them at 21ish weeks. Within a few weeks, I felt them very regularly and pretty much as strongly as with my other pregnancies.

    If you're anxious to feel the baby move, I highly recommend pulling out a vibrator. It makes the baby extremely active. Last week, at 16 weeks maybe the week before too, I could feel the little onion shape MUCH more forward than it ever is during the regu
