Kick strength

Are anyone else’s kicks not that strong? I do have an anterior placenta which may take a lot of the strength away. But I can’t help but worry? Sometimes they are strong but 80% of the time they’re just like soft taps? Is that normal for an anterior placenta or just in general? 30+4 weeks

Same... mine change day to day... kick session to kick session.. I'm 28+4, I'm guessing it really depends where they are kicking to the feeling I get...

Same here, I get plenty of movement but “strength” also alters depending on how I’m sitting / resting. Also notice now baby is moving around a bit more and I see my tummy change shape (30+5) xx

I can feel it more but my partner doesn’t seem to feel it at all I have anterior placenta too, I can strongly feel movement and kicks but he can’t seem to feel anything (27+4)

Can barely feel mine. Shes breech, so all kicks are very low

I'm anterior also - mine dont feel that strong either and some days I have to concentrate and check he is moving. I feel baby moving around more than kicking

I spoke to my midwife and she said they will be strong but because of where the placenta is (also anterior) that cushions a lot of the kick.
She said it’s secretly a blessing, when I had my 4D scan we could see she was fully booting me but I’d only feel soft kicks xx
