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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have an OB appt. shortly and will update if I hear anything different or new from my OB!

As I said, I don't know yet, but I suspect that I do have an anterior due to my no-movement feelings.

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. Check out (and vote) on this poll:

@cvbee: That's interesting - I never thought about the sleeping position affecting the position of the placenta. 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.

@cvbee: I've never, ever slept on my stomach & have an anterior placenta - I get hideous headaches if I even lay on my stomach for any length of time. neat poll, though! I voted.

Found out today that I have an anterior placenta...started feeling movement 18-19 weeks
