Has anyone felt the baby move yet?

Curious to know how early some people might feel something. Is the placenta posterior or anterior? Boy or girl?

I’m currently 17 + 3 today and I started feeling little movements about a week ago. My placenta is posterior and I’m having a wee boy! The movements I’m feeling tho are very light, like little pops, I feel like that is a better way to describe it than “flutters” cause when people ask me if I’ve felt flutters, I’m kinda like 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂

I have an anterior placenta and I’m 17w1d and I’ve not felt my baby move yet. I can’t wait until I do! This is my 3rd baby

I thought that! Flutters doesn’t feel accurate to me, that makes me think of butterflies when you’re nervous. I think it’s like fizzy

Second pregnancy

I’m 15 tomorrow and I felt baby about 10 days ago with bubbles and yesterday a pop like a kick (2nd pregnancy though and anterior)

How does everyone already know where their placenta is? I wasn’t told at my 12 week scan and I’m sure I didn’t find out where my placenta was until my 20 week scan the first time round

I asked about mine at 10 week private scan then double checked at the 12 week one

I had a private gender scan last week where they told me

ahh thanks! I have my private gender scan on Saturday so I’ll ask then!

I've felt flutters, and last Monday baby was kicking a lot of about an hour but not felt much at all this week. I'm 16+3, second baby

im 17+6 & i’ve been feeling little things since around a week ago!! my placenta is at the back (i can’t remember which is which ahahah) n this weeks his little kicks have gotten stronger!! past 2 nights i’ve felt little pops in my lower abdomen & been getting some ligament pain too because he’s growing it’s so surreal as this is my first baby and we found out his gender at 14+4 weeks !! he wasn’t shy at all 🥳🥳 xxx

amazing! You have a posterior placenta like me. Means we will feel it sooner and maybe more intense than anterior. I haven’t felt anything yet. I’m 15+1 today. I mean I might have but it’s not distinctive enough some times I get popping but then I just think that’s my stomach. I’m not sure. I’m going to find out on Friday what the gender is I can’t wait!

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?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Congratulations mamas as we wrap up the second trimester and start the last stretch! 26w and 4d over here. Have a good day!
