Baby movements with an anterior placenta

Since the baby is getting bigger it’s also less intense kicks at times and more stretches and rolling will come into play. I got nervous at first as well but a lot of the movements feel lesser in terms of intensity, if that makes any sense. Also have an anterior placenta and I can certainly feel her moving more on my sides than front. If you have any concerns though you can always call the doctor to be sure!

I am 28 weeks and have anterior placenta as well. I think if I didn’t feel him at all during the day I may be concerned but feeling some kicks I know I may just not be in a good position / paying attention. I would say if you don’t feel any movement at all during the day get checked but don’t panic.

Im 30 weeks tomorrow and have had the same thing. I have an anterior placenta too and felt him a lot 21 weeks-27 weeks amd now I feel more stretches/rolls and a lot of kicking mainly around 2pm, but throughout the rest of the day is just a few kicks here and there. My midwife just told me to still count kicks if it worries me and if there are 10 within an hour or two hes doing good

Hey! I have an anterior placenta too and I began to experience the same concern and lack of movement. I mentioned it to my OB and they were supportive and checked on her, with no concerns. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself and your baby at your next appointment.
I’ve found that I feel my baby move more when my hands are on my belly than when I’m just kind of mentally focusing on it during a time of day she’d moved a lot and part of me wonders if the placenta placement has something to do with reducing the sensation of her movement for me. Even the other day when her heartbeat was being measured they said she kicked and I honestly didn’t feel it.

I have a posterior placenta and I had a movement slow down at 28 weeks as well. I’ve seen TONS of posts of people worried about a movement slow down at 28 weeks specifically. Idk what happens that particular week, but it seems pretty common. If you’re worried, definitely get checked out because you know your body and your baby best, but I’m guessing baby will pick back up next week.
