I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and have an anterior placenta. I have been feeling moments but it still worries me. I had my midwife appointment Monday and everything was fine but I’m she mentioned if I don’t feel baby as much as normal to just call the hospital but I don’t know what is normal if that makes sense as it hasn’t really been much of a pattern until the last 2/3 days so do I go off that? Should I call the hospital if it’s not the same as them last few days?? 🙉 I’m going crazy lol!please someone help/ reassure me

Always better to ring and everything be fine than not ring and there be a problem. I promise the hospital don't mind if you ring them every single day for the rest of pregnancy. Xx

Movements are so hard! Especially at first! I had a front facing placenta and was told that i wouldnt feel movement which scared me but I felt my boy soooo much! If i had a quiet morning/eve of movement i just went and got checked! Its just not worth risking it. You know whats normal for you xxxzx

I’d say if you’re worried your best just to call up and go in for reassurance. I was there a lot and was told by the doctor they do expect to see women with an anterior placenta more. I was also told after 30 weeks because baby is so big it shouldn’t make too much difference, which makes it easier! Xx

I have an anterior placenta and I feel my little girl move a lot. But like you, it doesn’t currently feel like a pattern, but also.. I think I’m also not keeping track because I’m just not expecting movements with it being anterior. You’ll probably find that there was a pattern before you just never really clocked it haha.
I would give it a few more days to establish the pattern more than base it off that! But definitely make sure you’re never worried about bothering anyone if you have movement concerns, because the last thing you want to do is leave it too late. As your baby gets bigger, you’ll feel more and more anyway 😊
