I have an anterior placenta (at the front so it acts like a cushion) and I was told I should feel more between 22-24 weeks and even more as baby gets stronger

I have a posterior placenta and baby has always moved after dinner from 16 weeks and I felt regular movements during the day from 19 weeks - I would say I know their routine now (when my alarm goes off in the morning, during the day when I’m hungry or eating/drinking a lot and then around dinner time). Not sure if their routine will change over the weeks but for now I’d say it’s quite predictable for me :)

I have a low lying placenta and felt butterfly like sensation from 16 weeks and proper kicks from 18/19 weeks .. I’m know 22 weeks and he’s got a little routine going.. as Fiona said above I don’t know if that routine changes over time.
If you have an anterior placenta where it’s the front of your belly you might feel movement a lot later. Nothing to worry about, at your 20 week scan they should/should’ve told you where your placenta’s sitting x

NHS recommendation is that from roughly 25 weeks you will start to notice a pattern in movements, until then they may be too small to notice much.
Having said that, ALWAYS call your midwife if you have any concerns, no matter how small xxx
