I’m 22 weeks and have a forward facing placenta and haven’t felt much movement if any yet. Just wondering when everyone started feeling movement if you’ve had a forward facing??

I started to pick up bubbles at the edge of the placenta about 24 weeks.
It's gotten easier as the placenta had moved upwards.
But I didn't start keeping a kick count diary until week 27. And that was just during after dinner nap time. As soon as I relax, Tiny starts to kick; that means if I'm worrying, then Tiny naps.
And yes, this has meant I've gotten good at body scan meditation.

I can feel little flutters almost like a washing machine but no big movement I know with my placenta at the front it can take longer as it almost acts as a wall x

I didn’t feel anything until 24 weeks with mine x

gives me hope I have a follow up scan tommorow but the anxiety doesn’t seem to fade until I can see little man’s okay x

Mine was about 24 weeks i started to feel baby and hes been non stop, thought i wouldn't feel much with him because of where my placenta is but i feel him more than my first when the placenta was at the back 🤣🤦♀️

Around 24-26 weeks

Honestly please don’t worry! I have the exact same and didn’t start feeling him properly until 24 weeks, I’m 31 weeks now and he’s moving constantly to the point it’s waking me up at night 😂xx

that is a relive x

I felt almost nothing my whole pregnancy. I would only feel some light kicks on the sides of my stomach during the morning. It caused a lot of anxiety for me throughout pregnancy. Very difficult to count kicks & determine decrease in movement. but he’s here now and healthy.

so glad to hear that lovely x

@charlotte as near I could tell the sensations are about a month behind what the books say. And it's scary but it gets better.

I didn’t feel anything until 28 weeks.

So much anxiety with an anterior placenta. It helps when I drink ice cold orange juice though! After a couple of minutes I get some great kicks from him 😊

might have to give that trick ago x
