Hello all. New to the group here and need some support. I’m 29 weeks pregnant and have an anterior placenta. Some say it’s a blessing in disguise because it acts like a blanket with the baby kicks. This is my first pregnancy, so I feel more sad than anything that I can barely feel the kicks unless they’re big jabs! Has anyone else experienced this? If you have, did you worry because you were feeling your baby move as much?

I've got an anterior placenta and feel movements if they're out to the sides. I've nothing to compare it to so not worried! He's getting himself into a nice pattern now and, as long as he sticks to that, he's OK. X

that’s where I feel him, too. Off on my sides! He’s not a mover so I’m so thankful when I do feel him. I guess it’s more of the first time mom jitters not feeling movement as often. Thank you for easing my mind❤️

Try not to compare your baby to others. They're all different and will all develop different patterns. It's about figuring out what's normal for your baby.
If you ever are worried though, please contact your assessment unit. They'd rather see you every day and everything be fine than not see you on the one day that it isn't. X

I had one and I still felt the baby just fine nothing to be worried about

I’ve had it in both my pregnancy’s:)my daughter didn’t moved so much too but my son did a lot and I would feel him almost non stop 😂

I have an anterior placenta and am 29 weeks as well. If I’m not laying still I rarely notice her move. So on days when I’m up and busy it’s easy to worry something is wrong. But it’s been like that my entire pregnancy so I try not to worry since it’s “normal” for me at this point.

Does anything else feel different ? This is interesting !

I have an anterior placenta too. I am 27 weeks and 5 days. I hardly ever feel her move. Barely started feeling flutters at 24 weeks.

I'm 28w2d and baby is measuring in the 90th percentile and is super active (we have frequent growth scans)... I still almost never feel her.

this is my first pregnancy, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but nothing different so far. Maybe more of the fact that I look a tad bit later in my pregnancy than what I really am! 🤗 that’s so awesome! Once we get into the sonogram he moves like crazy so I’m thinking he’s very active, just don’t feel the little man dancing around! lol

That's me, I'm 22weeks pregnant and sometimes feel her move and other times I don't like felt her move 3 days ago abit Low, but today nothing or that I've noticed

Constantly worried honestly draining 😪

I have an anterior placenta and didn’t even start feeling flutters or any kind of movements till almost 23 weeks. I was super stressed, but I’m almost 27 weeks now and feel enough random kicks throughout the day to know baby’s there and not worry as much. I was bummed at first but now I’m just grateful that I’m not getting kicked in the ribs and repeatedly in the bladder like others seem to be 😅
