An anterior placenta can make it much more difficult to feel. I'm 23 weeks and about ten days ago I went through 2 days of not feeling very much, then he just started to go crazy again the next day. I think before 24 weeks it's normal for kicks to be on and off, after then you should feel it everyday. Baby may have shifted position so you just can't feel it as easily. You probably have nothing to worry about but if it goes on a while then give your maternity unit a ring. X

My midwife told me when i got pregnant this time that they've recently found more evidence to link baby not moving it change in movements to different problems (not trying to freak you out) but it's become more important to monitor kicks but with having a anterior placenta I guess it would things difficult. Babies do have quieter days than others but keep an eye on it. Try lying down on your left side for an hour and count the kicks if you feel nothing give your midwife a call and she'll probably just reassure you everything is OK or maybe just check you over to put your mind at ease. My little one didn't move all night normally she's waking me up but I got up this morning and she's kicking away! Try not to worry just keep an eye on it! X
