They have had no trouble finding her heartbeat with the doppler, they told me at my A/S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-201377 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:37:32 +0000 mrsjyw 201377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Found out today that I have an anterior placenta...started feeling movement 18-19 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-46370 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:28:52 +0000 winniebee 46370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I am a side sleeper (only very rarely sleep on my tummy!!)</p> <p>They haven't had any trouble w/ ultrasounds or w/ finding the heartbeat on the doppler, so maybe mine's a mildly anterior position. The tech said "I'll call this anterior right" whatever that means. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-46349 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:10:53 +0000 katdevargas 46349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I've never, ever slept on my stomach &amp; have an anterior placenta - I get hideous headaches if I even lay on my stomach for any length of time. neat poll, though!

As of my 13 week scan, my placenta was in the anterior position and partially covering my cervix as well - although they think it will move up with time and placenta previa shouldn't be an issue. It's definitely anterior though and not likely to move over to posterior so I guess I will be another one who has to wait a few more weeks before I feel anything - I'm 16 weeks tomorrow, so still a ways to go I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-45825 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:26:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 45825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one, but was usually able to find the heartbeat with the doppler but couldn't get an ultrasound in the OB's office, even with an internal wand. I had to go to the ultrasound center with the crazy machine as big as the bed. RJ was super active, however... so I felt his movement all the time. I never saw any fists or feet come through though. Just some shaking sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-45781 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:13:53 +0000 cvbee 45781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As I said, I don't know yet, but I suspect that I do have an anterior due to my no-movement feelings. </p> <p>So then I started wondering about if the fact that I sleep on my stomach (or did at the time of implantation) impacted the location of the placenta.

I am so jealous of all the mamas that feel regular movement by now (I'm 19 wks 2 days and think I feel some stuff, but still can't be sure). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-44210 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:55:05 +0000 winniebee 44210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I have one (found out at my anatomy scan today) just about 19 wks and felt only a few movements I thought were baby. Our little guy has always been super active during ultrasounds too. </p> <p>I have an OB appt. shortly and will update if I hear anything different or new from my OB! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-30435 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 13:43:41 +0000 katdevargas 30435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one as well &amp; wasn't able to feel anything consistently until around 22 weeks. I had nightmares all before my 20 week appointment about something being wrong with the baby since I wasn't really feeling anything consistently &amp; {as this is my first} wasn't even sure if what I was feeling was the baby or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29791 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:03:48 +0000 Sha 29791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta and I think I felt strong movements around 25 weeks or so. My husband wasn't able to feel the strong kicks from the outside until past 30 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29625 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:40:15 +0000 Clementine 29625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel my LO until prob 22 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29617 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:43:22 +0000 BananaPancakes 29617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am at 20 weeks with an anterior placenta and I still haven't felt him move at all. I had a check up yesterday and he wouldn't hold still and kept kicking the doppler, so we know he's active. My midwife said sometimes it just takes longer for women in my position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29585 Thu, 08 Dec 2011 01:52:44 +0000 sbjmorgan 29585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't affect my labor but they had to be careful during the emergency c section.</p> <p>I felt movement around 26Weeks from the outside, like strong movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29465 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 18:44:13 +0000 Nskillet 29465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs D I have heard that it can shift. Kinda like women with placenta previa. Anterior placenta is totally normal and can likely change. I also have felt some movement at 17 weeks but its been less consistent and a lot when im laying down/ on my side.</p> <p>Did this affect anyones labor? I cant imagine it being different for this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29399 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:19:03 +0000 Mrs. D 29399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told at my 20 week ultrasound that my placenta was anterior, but it hasn't stopped me from feeling anything as early as I have. I wonder if it's possible for it to move? or maybe it's not front and centre, and that's why I feel her moving so much and so early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29315 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:48:49 +0000 lemondrop 29315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, first felt movement at 15 weeks on rare occasions, and gradually more often from there. When I constantly felt it: in the car. He always goes crazy in the car! </p> <p>I feel him all the time now, so I really don't feel like I miss out on anything. As they get bigger its easier to find the heartbeat on the doppler too, and less scary for you. One bonus is that my friend without an anterior placenta kept getting woken up by her boy... I on the other hand sleep through pretty much all of his antics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29202 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 12:00:34 +0000 owlmom 29202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta, and it wasn't until about week 20 that I could definitely feel baby's movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29181 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:07:59 +0000 tequiero21 29181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the baby on the bottom is anterior. baby on top is posterior. i think i felt baby B (top) earlier - by about 3 weeks or so? now i feel them both regularly, at 22 weeks, but stlil feel baby B more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29179 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 11:04:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 29179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an anterior placenta, and I want to say that it took me until 18 weeks to really feel and identify the movement. But it took until about 25 weeks to feel it consistantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placenta-mamas#post-29144 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:51:27 +0000 Nskillet 29144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey Ladies!</p> <p>Just had my 17 week pee in a cup appt and when they broke the doppler our couldn't find the babies heartbeat. Lucky for me, my office has a ultrasound tech/machine in house so they quickly just brought me over there and I saw the little buggers heartbeat. I can't get over how different they look each time I see them! She doctor instantly let me know that an anterior placenta can make it harder to hear the heartbeat when earlier on and also that feeling movement for Mom is different cause there is more padding.</p> <p>This explains why the "movement" I feel almost feels more like buzzing and gentle grazing than bubbles or other sensations other posterior placenta mamas feel. </p> <p>Anyone else have an anterior placenta? How long till you REALLY felt regular movement? </p>
