[miraa]

If the placenta is towards the front you will not be as sensitive to movements. There is still alot of room in there too. I used to play music to my bump in the early days and you can also try laying on your left & have a cold drink, this can sometimes stimulate movement.

Try not to worry too much, it's different for everyone. I also used to 'jiggle' my belly to make bubs move.

I'm 21 weeks tomorrow and still can't feel anything. However, in my last scan I was told that the placenta was right at the front so that was why.

I didnt even start feeling movement till 22 weeks so the fact ur feeling it already albeit a little is gd. If u lay down and drink ice cold liquid u will probably notice moving bit more. X

I was 24 weeks before I really started to feel anything. I had felt the odd ripple or bubble before then but nothing I could positively say was the baby. Could be your placenta is at the front, could be you have strong stomach muscles, could be that your baby is just gentle right now. Don't worry - you will soon feel it and it feels wonderful x

Hi im 20 weeks today and i still cant feel baby move at all, i get excited everytime i get wind thinking its baby moving, then i fart and im disapointed. I guess i just have to wait

Many ask the question as well...is it wind or the baby...for me it was wind at first and then I knew exactly when it was the baby....be patient, it will come

Ur womb sits in front of ur bowel so the little flutters ur feeling are def baby they will get stronger week by week x

I was 21w+ with my 3rd until I felt my baby moved. I got really panicky as some ladies said they felt there 2nd/3rd move around 15weeks. I was that worried that I bought a fetal Doppler. I was still having minimal movements at my 28w check and my midwife said that if I am worried to head to the hospital BUT I just use my Doppler and I instantly know the baby is o.k.

I was the same, worried alot because I harly felt my little one. My placenta is anterior and I think it does make a difference. I am now 35 weeks and sometimes I see him move but don't always feel it, so try not to worry. Your little one may be having a dance party in there and you may not feel it! Take care x

They all differ so much, first pregnancy I didn't feel any movements (early labour at 21weeks and only had a kick when I was in labour in hospital with him) this baby I was at lunch at 16weeks exactly and had a nice strong kick then nothing on and off for a couple of weeks. Then at 20-24 very strong and regular then stopped for a few days and he was fine! So all differs and if your ever worried the hospitals are so good I went a few weeks ago from lack of movement I was scanned and his heartbeat was checked at this was at midnight! If your ever worried go to hosp it will put you mind at ease and it's always nice to hear him/her x

I am 21weeks 3 days into my first pregnancy and I only feel flutters I haven't felt anything that I have thought is defo baby but keep gettin told this is normal by the midwifes and doctors. I'm not even 100% sure what it is I am ment to feel so how will I know. I'm sure we will both know when the time comes. Good luck xx
