I have an anterior placenta too. They just said it might take a bit longer to start feeling baby kick. I have started feeling him now at 21 weeks.

I’m 23 weeks and have still only felt little pokes is this normal ? X

Shouldn’t cause any more difficulties, all my 3 pregnancies have had anterior placentas and no one has ever said it’s a concern or makes things difficult. X

thank you I think I’m just worrying but everything will be fine x

I’ve had anterior placenta in my first pregnancy, felt baby more at 24 weeks and husband felt at 28 weeks. No complication for me

I think so. Aslong as you have felt them by 24 weeks then it’s fine. This is my second pregnancy and they say you feel your second much earlier. So I was quite late feeling him considering it’s my second x

I have that with this pregnancy which is probably why I haven't felt him kick as much as I did with my first, it cushions it!

I do with this baby. I was gutted at first but I’ve still felt him since 16.5/17 weeks (he is my third)

It can increase the liklihood of the baby's position being back to back, can be a bit more painful to give birth when they are in this position apparently. I've had one of each though and didn't really notice a massive difference when giving birth. The only difference is I had a lot more back pain with an anterior placenta.

Induction?

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

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
