22 Weeks, Anterior Placenta & Still Waiting to Feel Baby Kicks – Anyone Else?

Hi mamas 💕

I’m starting 22 weeks today and still haven’t properly felt baby movements yet. A few days ago I thought I felt something but honestly can’t tell if it was baby or just me overthinking 😅

At my 20-week scan the sonographer said I have an anterior placenta, so it’s cushioning a lot. Baby looked super active on the scan, wriggling and kicking away, but since I don’t feel it daily I can’t help but worry a little.

This is my first pregnancy, so I have nothing to compare it to. Has this happened to you? When did you start feeling proper kicks or consistent movements with an anterior placenta?

Would love to hear your experiences 🫶

I had an anterior placenta with my 1st and could barely feel anything the whole way. By about 24 weeks I could feel very light flutters if I concentrated. And hiccups 😂 he was delivered healthy

Have anterior placenta also felt kicks around 22 weeks just below the stomach … mostly feel her when I’m lying on my back for a min

I didn't feel kicks with my anterior placenta until a few days before I was 24 weeks, but I have felt them everyday since x

Not only do I have an anterior placenta, I also am a larger size girl. My baby has been very active since day one but I didn't feel her until about week 30. I'm now 35 weeks+4 days and I feel her each and every day. 🥰

I didnt feel the first kick until 26-28 weeks. Im almost 31 weeks with anterior and i only feel him in the morning when i first wake up and not again until i lay down after dinner. Its very minor and i have to be really calm/quiet/relaxed to feel him during those times. I wish i felt him more but apparently this is the Anterior Placenta ways! (For peace of mind there are boutique places that you can pay around $40-90 for an ultrasound. We got a 4D one, it was awesome!)

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
