When did you feel your baby move with anterior placenta ?

I’m 20 weeks with an anterior placenta and my midwife said she would expect me to feel baby by now but I’ve only felt her move once and I’m not even sure if it was her? I know with an anterior placenta it can be harder to feel movements but I’m interested to know when other people who also have anterior placenta started to feel movements

I started to feel moving at 17 weeks with anterior placenta on and off the midwife said at this stage it should feel like bubbles or passing gass it’s a un explainable feeling x

I have an anterior placenta as well, I've noticed popping feeling at the moment

I'm surprised the midwife said that to you. Please don't worry! Another few weeks and you'll feel her x

I'm 21 weeks and felt baby from about 18 weeks. Last night I had the pleasure of experiencing hiccups.

I have an anterior placenta and I felt baby girl move at week 22 so it did take a little longer for me to feel her but since then I feel her everyday and she has a routine, it can be frustrating when everyone else has felt their baby quite early on but hang on in there it’s nothing to worry about just yet till around week 24/25 xx

Im nearly 21week and have only felt slight movement and its not everyday.. im hopin to feel more soon tho x

My consultant told me not to expect anything before 24 weeks as the anterior placenta really cushions everything from us, feeling it. It's normal to start feeling between 16-24 weeks, first pregnancy normally after 20 weeks. So don't worry all is normal

For proper kicks that you can feel 100% and from the outside too 19 weeks on the dot with my first baby with an anterior placenta and 21+1 with this baby with an anterior placenta, you might not feel baby properly til around 24 weeks even with a posterior placenta you’re absolutely fine don’t stress xx

I was 21 weeks! More when I drank 2 glasses of water and lay on my side for 20 mins

Yeah they say around 24 weeks. With earlier movements people can easily confuse gas with the baby moving. Because I thought I felt some licks and my doctor told me that they don’t even anatomically have libs at 17 weeks gestation to feel kicks. The best you can feel is them rolling and kicks start closer to 24 weeks

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻

Upcoming C-section.

So I’ve decided to go for an elective C-section, I know it’s the right choice after months of deliberating but I’m soooooo nervous.

I’ve had 2 very complicated births. I kinda know what to expect from the recovery as I had an emergency section with my first but I just feel nervous about being awake during it & what it feels like.. I’ve heard they strap your arms down and I’m scared of something going wrong.

I know every experience is different but if you’re happy to share what your elective was like for you (good and bad) id be very grateful. I feel really unprepared!

C-section numbness

6 months postpartum my OB has dismissed my concerns about the right above my C-section area being numb. It is so uncomfortable to lay on my stomach now, and certain moves or touches feels like the worst nerve pain in life. Majority of my friends had a vaginal birth so relating to anyone isn't real, and it appears to have mixed feedback on Google 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
