If it's your first, generally you feel movement later anyways. I bet you'll feel it soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042348 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 15:49:19 +0000 su9su9 2042348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I felt her kick at 21 weeks. I think the doctor told me I had anterior placenta too. After her first kicks, they were pretty consistant throughout the pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042244 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 14:42:25 +0000 LAZB 2042244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta with my son, and felt him the first time at 17 weeks. My husband could feel him at 22 weeks. I never felt him as much as I feel our daughter, though. With her I have a posterior placenta, and feel SOOOOO much more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042217 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 14:28:07 +0000 Pumuckl 2042217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 16w with my first and a week or two earlier with my second. Anterior placentas both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042155 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:55:12 +0000 NurseDMB 2042155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 weeks. It felt like a goldfish bumping against my belly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042130 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:42:29 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2042130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 weeks. And it wasnt even kicks, it was hiccups that i felt first, down lower, not in the belly area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2042027 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:39:14 +0000 NeekieRose 2042027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD1 I didn't feel anything until about 22 weeks, but then I felt her constantly. And DH was able to feel her on the outside about a week later. With this pregnancy I felt her closer to 16 weeks even with an anterior again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041954 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:04:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 2041954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 weeks, and once I felt it it became pretty consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041951 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:04:09 +0000 sera_87 2041951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First: about 22 weeks &amp; it took forever to actually feel them on the outside<br /> Second: 16?-18 weeks.

It was more obvious around 21 weeks...I almost wasn't sure what i was feeling at 19/20 </p> <p>This one isn't and i felt it a few weeks earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041882 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:31:48 +0000 Mamasig 2041882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 - around 21 weeks or so. I remember at my 20 week anatomy scan telling the tech that I thought I felt movement but wasn't sure. A couple of weeks later it was definite.</p> <p>DS2 - maybe 16 weeks or so?</p> <p>Anterior placenta both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041864 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:24:16 +0000 meredithNYC 2041864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 24 it became consistent. Prior to that I felt very fleeting, light little flutters. Now at 28 weeks I feel him all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041863 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:22:23 +0000 autumnlove 2041863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 21 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041851 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:17:36 +0000 cascademom 2041851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first LO, I didn't feel movement until 20-22 weeks. It was vague movement. I remember my 24 week appointment when LO kicked the doppler off when we were looking for his heartbeat, so then I knew what kicks felt and looked like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041848 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:16:04 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2041848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 weeks with my first, 14 weeks with my second. Anterior placenta both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041846 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:15:18 +0000 mrsjyw 2041846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta with DS and felt slight flutters around 18/19 weeks, kicks around 20/21 weeks internally, but DH didn't feel kicks on the outside until 22/23 weeks. I also think that for having an AP I felt movement pretty early on. Usually it's around 24/5 weeks is what I heard the first time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anterior-placentas-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-2041843 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 11:14:03 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2041843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just over 20 weeks pregnant with my first and haven't felt any movement from our little girl yet. Every time we see her on ultrasound though (my OB takes a peek at every appointment), she is moving all over the place!</p> <p>I found out at my anatomy scan yesterday that I have an anterior placenta. I know that can affect how much movement you can feel so I wanted to know, for those with anterior placentas, when did you first feel movement? And once it started, were you able to feel it consistently or was it a challenge to feel movement for the whole pregnancy? </p>
