I am 21 weeks today. I have an anterior placenta, and I can't feel my baby yet. It makes me nervous even though I have read that it is normal for it to take longer to feel your baby as a first-time mom and with an anterior placenta. Is anyone else still not feeling anything? It is exciting, though, to finally have more weeks behind me than there are to go in this prenancy!

It’s hard to notice that they’re actually moving the only way I’ve been able to definitively say it’s them is when I see the movement. It kinda just feels like gas moving around, if that makes sense?

Yes, I am in the same boat. 22 weeks and no movement felt so far.

i had an anterior placenta with my second son. i felt him for the first time at 18 weeks. it felt like gentle wind inside my pelvic region. this time i felt my daughter at 15 weeks and i have a posterior placenta this time. if you had ultrasounds and everything is fine on them i wouldn’t worry. maybe ask your doctor at your next appointment.

I am at 22 weeks also with an anterior placenta and just started feeling my baby girl just a little bit. You could try eating a snack (sweet if diet permits) and after some time lie down on your left with quiet surrounding. Thats how I noticed her move the first time this week! And notice a pattern of that feeling everytime I eat a meal.

First time mom, 21 weeks, anterior placenta. I feel nothing yet. Had anatomy scan last week and baby is measuring and weighing where baby needs to be so I'm not worried about it.

Also anterior! I finally started feeling kind of roller coaster sensations while lying on my left side in the mornings around 23 weeks!
