I have an anterior placenta and I’m 20 almost 21 weeks. If y’all have that when did y’all first feel your baby’s movement. (My placenta is on the outside of my uterus they didn’t give me a name of what it’s called so I’m assuming it’s a anterior placenta. )

What is an anterior placenta?
Pregnancy is an incredible journey filled with awe and wonder as your body works its magic to create new life. 🌟 One fascinating aspect of this journey is the placenta, a remarkable organ that nurtures and supports your growing baby.
If you've been told you have an anterior placenta, let's dive into what that means and how it might impact your pregnancy experience.
The Lowdown on the Anterior Placenta 🤰
Imagine your placenta as your baby's personal support system and cozy home inside your womb.
🏡 An anterior placenta simply means that this incredible support system has attached itself to the front wall of your uterus, closer to your belly.
While it might sound like a tiny detail, it can have some interesting implications for your pregnancy journey.
What Makes It Special 🤔
Having an anterior placenta is like having a soft, protective cushion between you and your baby.
👶 This extra layer can sometimes make those early baby kicks and movements a bit more subtle.
So, if you're eagerly waiting for those adorable kicks, don't worry if you don't feel them as strongly at first.
It's like your little one is practicing their ninja moves with a fluffy barrier!
Feeling the Love - Baby Kicks and Bonding 💕
Feeling your baby's kicks is one of the most magical parts of being pregnant.
With an anterior placenta, you might start to feel those tiny flutters a bit later than your counterparts with a different placenta positioning.
But fear not! As your baby grows and gains strength, those kicks will become more pronounced.
It's a fantastic time to bond with your baby and even let the future grandparents or your partner feel the joy of these kicks.
Embracing the Journey 🌈
Remember, having an anterior placenta is just one unique aspect of your pregnancy story.
It doesn't define your entire experience, and it certainly doesn't diminish the amazing adventure your body is on.
🚀 Cherish each moment, from the first ultrasound glimpse to the eventual flurry of kicks that will make you giggle with delight.
Your body is a wonder, and the positioning of your placenta is just one of the many chapters in the incredible saga of pregnancy.

So I have an anterior placenta. Now I know why I haven't been able to feel my babys movements yet! Around how many weeks did anybody feel their baby move and also had a anterior placenta.
Marie
Kick counting doesn’t officially start until 24-28 weeks.

I was told I have an anterior placenta. Anyone else also have an anterior placenta. Im 11 weeks, I wonder if it will still move?
Gabi
I do! You'll be able to feel baby move, but maybe not until after 24 weeks ❤️. Unfortunately if you have an anterior placenta it doesn't "move" and you'll have it the whole pregnancy

Found out today that I have an anterior placenta. Anyone one else dealing with the same ?
Bianca
Yes, I also have an anterior placenta. The only difference is the placenta is at the front of the stomach so it will make it harder to feel kicks.
I’m 21 weeks and I just started feeling her really move. My doctor said it’s nothing to worry about, it doesn’t affect delivery or anything. She said most women get it who have had kids before.

I have an anterior placenta. I can feel my son move some but will it ever get stronger? I feel the placenta is blocking the best part.
Melissa
I have an anterior placenta too and I feel my baby boy move all the time but I don't think it's as strong as it could be either and I'm 30 weeks but his moves are still strong I just think they could be stronger you know

I was pretty far along as well. Before that, I just figured my boy was ultra chill and maybe saw no reason to choose violence all the time when it came to kickboxing around my insides. 😂

It’s when the placenta is attached to the front wall of the uterus. So basically it makes it harder for moms like me to feel baby movements compared to others because it’s like a pillow between baby & my belly😣
