Anterior placenta & not feeling pregnant

Besides my very tender breast, and waking up feeling like I wrestled someone in my sleep and this super deep vivid sleep I’m having I don’t feel pregnant

First time having an anterior placenta and can’t shake the fact that I still haven’t felt baby movements at 15 weeks whereas my other pregnancy I was able to at this point it’s so strange

I also have an anterior placenta and I didn't feel the baby until week 18, even then my doctor told me it could be up to like week 22-24 depending how much they move and how they move

It's common to not feel the baby with an anterior placenta. You may feel baby later. My friend never felt the baby move her whole pregnancy.

Hi there!
Second pregnancy, second anterior placenta. Its very very normal not to feel any movement or flutters until later in the pregnancy. Its also normal that in the second trimester the movements may not be consistent.

With my first I felt flutters around 20ish weeks and kicking around 24. I was so paranoid because I wouldnt feel movement throughout the day, so the birthing center became my bestfriend to check up. If you're worried later on dont hesitate to call your birthing unit.

For my current, I felt flutters around 14-16 weeks and more active movement around 19. Im 21 weeks and felt my first tiny kick yesterday. Its not consistent though.

I had an anterior placenta and it was quite some time till I felt movement- I want to say maybe close to 20 weeks? But I threw up every day, so I was constantly reminded I was pregnant 😶

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
