Really hoping it happens soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165952 Mon, 04 May 2015 09:28:26 +0000 Mamasig 2165952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had anterior placenta with both my boys. I felt movement that I could clearly identify at around 21-22 weeks with DS1. With DS2, I think it was around 16-17 weeks until I felt him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165859 Mon, 04 May 2015 08:33:12 +0000 cat620 2165859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My placenta was anterior both times, and for the second baby, I felt him at around 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165854 Mon, 04 May 2015 08:29:42 +0000 mrsjyw 2165854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AP with DS1, I felt waves/butterflies starting at 18/19 weeks, but it wasn't until I was further that I realized what they were, like I thought it was something at that point, but wasn't sure. I didn't feel kicks until later probably closer to 21/22 weeks with DS, and from the outside a week or two after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165837 Mon, 04 May 2015 08:24:17 +0000 ValentineMommy 2165837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had posterior with DS1 and felt him clearly by 16w.</p> <p>I have anterior with DS2 this time, and while I felt little bubbles/popping sensations earlier, I didn't clearly feel him regularly until 22w. It was a bummer that it took so long, specially after a m/c. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165790 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:34:57 +0000 Anagram 2165790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had anterior placentas both times, and both times I felt baby early--12-14 weeks. Unmistakable to me.</p> <p>BUT both times, my anterior placenta has been high--and I feel the movement super low, and not where my placenta is. So that's probably why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165789 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:33:48 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2165789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta for both. With #2 i probably felt kicks around 19 weeks. With #1 it was 21-22 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165779 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:14:51 +0000 anbanan15 2165779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: She was just a stinker. My last appointment I remember my midwife saying she couldn't find the head, but thought she was head down and sent me for an u/s to confirm. She was kinda short (still is petite) so I think she just had tons of room to flip flop around in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165776 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:10:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 2165776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I felt O at 17 weeks with an anterior placenta. I didn't know what it was til 18 weeks though, then realized I'd been feeling it for awhile! And she was my first - So you could definitely be feeling it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165770 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:59:23 +0000 winniebee 2165770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: oh yeah you're still early then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165768 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:55:24 +0000 hilsy85 2165768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: 16w4d </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165767 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:55:00 +0000 winniebee 2165767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: how far along are you now? With T I felt nothing til 20 weeks and it wasn't until probably 24 that it was consistent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165765 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:52:22 +0000 hilsy85 2165765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: ah gotcha...I always assumed that was less likely for #2 since it's roomier/stretched out, but I guess not!</p> <p>@winniebee: I know it's way too early for me to be worrying about this!! I know 20 weeks is much more normal with anterior placenta.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165763 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:50:17 +0000 winniebee 2165763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was an anterior placenta and I didn't feel him at all til 20w. </p> <p>#2 was a posterior placenta and I felt at 14/15w. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165762 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:49:31 +0000 anbanan15 2165762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: My second was. My first was head down the entire time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165755 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:42:29 +0000 hilsy85 2165755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: your 2nd or 1st was transverse/breech? Hoping it happens for me soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165752 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:37:47 +0000 anbanan15 2165752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was about 18-20 weeks? I had an AP with both pregnancies and my first was extremely hard for me to feel movement at all during the entire pregnancy (I don't think I started to feel movement until 24-26 weeks and barely after that). I do remember I felt it earlier with my second for sure. I always attributed to the fact that she was transverse or breech until the very end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-feel-movement-with-baby-2-and-anterior-placenta#post-2165749 Mon, 04 May 2015 06:33:56 +0000 hilsy85 2165749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering when you started to feel movement with baby #2? I have heard it's earlier--I started to feel LO1 around 19 weeks, but I had a posterior placenta with him and an anterior placenta with this one. I have felt some things that I THINK are movement, but it feels very different from LO1--more rolling/twisting movements, rather than pops or bumps. </p>
