Or gas, if you search on the nct forum lots of people asking about first movements (including myself a few weeks ago)

Hi Del, I am a bit behind you but also have anterior placenta. Apparently it is much harder to feel baby with this, which kinda sucks! Do let me know how you get on and whether the popping and tapping becomes recognisable movement. Hope all continues well for you xx

I had anterior placenta and that's kind of how I would describe my first movements. I had fluttering once but that's it - it went more from what felt like popping forever to what felt like real movements.

When I had my scan on Tuesday they said my placenta is also anterior hence why Ive felt no movements yet, I've had the same types of feelings as you and antenatal nurse said should defo feel proper movements by 24-25 weeks xx

Hey Del92, I've just realised our due dates are one day apart -I'm 03/01/18 you must be the fourth. I feel like I'm becoming completely obsessed with this now! It's making it hard to concentrate on anything else:-( if you get to 24 weeks without it being resolved will the NHS not do a scan?

Another week, maybe slightly longer and you will feel baby don't worry. They are still pretty tiny around 20ish weeks even tho on the scan you see them dancing around. I'm in the third trimester and tend to sleep with a foot in my rib at night now !x
