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 🤪

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
