Our symptoms have been very similar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251846 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 07:19:19 +0000 Adira 1251846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 weeks were when I knew what I was feeling were kicks! Before that I felt little "gas bubbles" that were probably kicks, but I wasn't really sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251812 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 01:52:23 +0000 LovelyPlum 1251812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: this also makes me feel better. I have days where I don't feel much, and I almost forget that I'm supposed to be feeling something more constantly. It's good to know that it can be more normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251811 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 01:51:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1251811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: me too :) I wasn't sure if I just wasn't paying attention enough to feel movement, or if I really wasn't feeling much. But once they start, man, they START. The last few nights have made me almost wish that I couldn't feel anything-the *second* I lay down, I proceed to get kicked to kingdom come. I mean, it's very cool to feel, but I get tired! That probably sounds bad, huh? Whoops...</p> <p>BTW, are we having the same pregnancy?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251809 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 01:41:24 +0000 VanillaBean 1251809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 23 weeks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251778 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 00:46:54 +0000 shopaholic 1251778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251743 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 23:36:19 +0000 jhd 1251743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: this makes me feel better too! also have AP and impatient to feel more movement. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251628 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:28:32 +0000 PurplePeony 1251628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt the first kicks at 18w3d but it took several more weeks before I could feel them regularly. During weeks 19-24 or so, it would often be 2-3 days in between feeling movements, since the baby is still pretty tiny at that point and the feet had to be in just the right place for me to feel them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-1251624 Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:24:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1251624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just found this, and it makes me feel better! I felt my first real flutter/movement that I couldn't mistake for anything else at 19 weeks, but now at 21 weeks, I am finally feeling all day kicks. DH can't feel any yet, but I hope it is soon :) I will say, though, baby kicks take a little getting used to-they keep surprising me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-621447 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:35:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 621447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just found out this morning that I have an anterior placenta too, so I'm really glad I found this post! </p> <p>I've felt teeny kicks or pokes since 17-18 weeks, but very rarely. Mostly it's just a weird movement feeling but nothing ai could define, if that makes sense. I did feel a couple of good jabs the other day though, at 19 weeks. Baby was definitely kicking at my cervix in the ultrasound this morning, but I couldn't feel it at all-- weird to see him/her kicking without feeling it! </p> <p>I've been sort of worried/impatient that I couldn't feel more, but as soon as she told me the placenta was at the top in the front, I was like, OOOH, is that anterior? Is that why I can't feel a lot? So, thanks Hellobee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-615010 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:07:10 +0000 wheres_c 615010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-614984 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:03:22 +0000 rawrasaur 614984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel regular movement almost my entire pregnancy.

I couldn't figure out why I couldn't feel movement until later and now I know why.<br /> I'm currently 32 1/2 weeks but I didn't feel movement until closer to 20weeks and my DH didn't until a few weeks after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-614640 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:49:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 614640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was around 21-22 weeks until I felt anything. I was also anxious, but after I could feel she made up for it kicking me NON-stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-614635 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:48:41 +0000 maybebaby 614635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the 20ish weeks category with my a/p and DH felt him between 20/21.

However I think I'd been getting kicked in the cervix for WEEKS before that but dismissed it as a nerve twitch. Baby kicked me in the cervix during an u/s so I can confirm it was actually happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-614592 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:39:49 +0000 anbanan15 614592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also much past 20 weeks when I felt them and had a hard time feeling them throughout my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-havehad-an-anterior-placenta-when-did-you-first-feel-movement#post-614585 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:38:31 +0000 Running Elley 614585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta and first felt flutters at a little past 17 weeks.
