I’ve had 2 babies, one with an anterior placenta and one with a posterior placenta. You still feel kicks with an anterior placenta but they are not as powerful to you or anyone trying to feel them from the outside. I had my anterior placenta baby first and I was shocked at how strong the kicks were with my second baby who had a posterior placenta!

Not necessarily, both my pregnancies I’ve had anterior placentas so have nothing to compare them to but both times I’ve been able to feel lots of movement and can see baby rolling around. Others have seen and felt baby too

I’m 25+5 weeks with an anterior placement too! This is my first pregnancy so I guess I have nothing to compare to but in my experience: I felt kicks from just after 22 weeks, they are now much stronger. My partner has felt kicks twice on the outside now and I’ve felt some too! I thought the same as you and worried I’d ‘miss out’ in a way with not feeling much but I feel lots of little kicks all on the inside and have done for weeks now so just wait! :) xx

I've had an anterior placenta both times.
Hardly felt my first but felt lots of movement with my second.

Coming up 35 weeks with anterior placenta. Didn't feel her until 26 weeks and have felt her non-stop since. Just not all over due to placenta location but around it, for sure!

You’ll definitely feel them as baby gets bigger!

I’m at 26wks (first pregnancy) & have an anterior placenta, have been feeling movement/kicks since 17wks! sometimes super strong, other days I can hardly feel anything! but you’ll definitely start to feel them more, and harder, as Bub grows xx

I had an anterior placenta, and I felt the kicks so strongly! They may have been way stronger if I had a posterior, but goodness only knows 🤪
