Anterior placenta - when did you first feel your baby move/flutter/kick?

Trying my best to not be worried. 19 weeks done and I am waiting for that moment.

Oooh it was like 21-23 weeks before I started feeling baby because of my anterior placenta!

I’ve been told they think I have one and I’ve only just really to feel proper kicks and I’m 27 weeks - I also didn’t feel the “flutters” they claimed to me it was more little taps or if you go over a speed bump too fast and your tummy goes funny it was like that

I definitely felt it for sure at 20 weeks - he kicked the probe during the scan! But as he was being pressed by the probe I don't think I felt it properly without that until a couple weeks after x

21-22 weeks!!

I had an anterior with my first and it was around 24 weeks until I could feel him. The movements I personally found were really nice throughout my pregnancy.

Pregnant with second and have a posterior. Movements are so different and could feel from 16 weeks which is actually a little painful/uncomfortable compared to anterior.

In comparison anterior was much nicer comfort wise so yes it’s hard when you can’t feel movement but the bigger they get the more you’ll get into a pattern of the movements x

I don’t remember exactly but it was over 20 weeks for sure

I actually have a posterior placenta and didn’t feel anything until week 22! 🥰 x

23 weeks I felt with my second baby, and probably the same with my first born son. Have anterior.

Pretty early but it depends on your baby the placenta position + thickness

Felt my second baby with anterior placenta around 19/20 weeks but with my first it was 24 weeks and that was with a posterior placenta.

First was 21 weeks 😳 but second was 17 weeks (very faint but recognised the feeling from previous pregnancy).
Both babies had anterior but placenta placements and cord lengths were very different. I felt my second much more throughout.

24 weeks

I have an anterier placenta this pregnancy and I didnt feel real obvious kicks until around 22 weeks but I've heard of some people taking even longer to feel kicks depending on the exact position of the placenta

22-23 weeks 💗🎀

18 weeks! I felt and saw so much even with an anterior placenta

Avatar

I felt a tiny tiny tiny flutter, like bubbles at 17 weeks but just once. Didn't feel proper movements until I was gone 20 weeks. Probably more like 22-23 weeks. And even then it was 1 kick then nothing at all for hours and hours.

l was gone 24 when I had proper movement that I could feel really often.

I have an anterior placenta and I first felt her at 24 weeks. Sure i felt some flutters before that when I would lay still but that could have been gas lol. Now she is in constant dance party mode. I never had a baby move as much as this one (I’ve had two others). Her golden hours are 10pm-3am 🙃. The doctor said she’s head down and spinning like a break dancer so that’s fun. 🤣

I felt movements at 22 weeks then felt kicks and big movements from 25 weeks

22 weeks! It was Christmas Eve!🥹 best Christmas gift ever! I wasn’t told I had an anterior placenta until I asked right around when I felt him kick!

Avatar

I had an anterior placenta and I thought I felt fluttering at around 20 weeks, but I honestly couldn’t say confidently it was my baby moving until about 28 weeks.

Avatar

This was also my first pregnancy so I didn’t have anything to compare it to.

Avatar

I was around 19/20 weeks when started feeling flutters, started getting visible kicks at around 25 weeks x

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
