@Charley oh that's interesting about the taps, I am pretty sure I felt that yesterday, very very light but I did wonder. Do you get offered more scans with an anterior placement do you know?
Felt her first at 18 weeks then properly frequent from around 23 weeks, I haven't found that an anterior placenta has had much impact at all on feeling movement
Nope, nothing extra with an anterior placenta. It’s pretty common actually, only if the placenta is covering the cervix would they offer more scans I think but anterior placenta is at the front, not the bottom😊
I was around 22/23 weeks
I did about 21/22 weeks. Xx
I only started really to feel little movement around 20weeks and it was hard to know if it was movement or not (again it felt a bit like a tap or twitch). My husband wasnt able to feel for a while but we found he could feel it more on the side of the stomach rather than the front x
Almost 23 weeks with my first, gone 24 weeks this time round - both anterior, the wait was agony 😂 x
When I had my scan at 21 weeks it confirmed when she was kicking I could feel it , only very slightly . I felt more about 25 weeks. I’m now 28 weeks and feel all the time xx
I started feeling regular movements about 21/22 weeks. Before that I had a couple of flutters right down in the corner of my abdomen. I've always felt them on my side if I lay down. Particularly on my right. Now they're up high and down low and as baby got bigger it hasn't made much difference at all. I'm 37 weeks now and movements are really strong. In fact my baby is so active the sonographer has said that my anterior placenta is probably a blessing 😂😂. No extra scans for that reason alone. It's pretty common and not a concern at all. They're only ever concerned with a low lying placenta, partially or fully covering the cervix. Even then it can end up higher as your uterus grows.
I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and have only recently started feeling baby. Looking back, I probably felt movement once or twice around 21 weeks but wasn’t sure it was that. I was expecting ‘flutters’ and ‘bubbles’ but I think due to the anterior placenta I missed that. Instead, it feels like tiny taps from the inside. Once or twice a day at the beginning of the week, now more frequently throughout the day but feel them more consistently when lying on my back when I wake up or when I’m in bed at night.
