I’ve had numerous of scan all shows baby wriggling about and kicking. I do have an anterior placenta which I know cushions the movement but when will I be able to feel her? Seems like it’s taking forever!

I was around 23 weeks and only felt the odd movement then. I also had an anterior placenta. I probably didn’t feel her really well until about 25-28 weeks xx

I'm 19weeks and haven't felt anything yet. I have my 20week scan next week so hopefully Everything will be ok as I don't feel pregnant except for extremely sore boobs and really bad pelvic girdle pain. I'm sure you'll feel her eventually x

I was similar and was starting to think why can’t I feel her, I didn’t feel proper kicks until 24-25 weeks but they came so try not to worry. And they haven’t stopped since I am now 36w and I wish they weren’t so strong! :-)

I'm 27 weeks plus with an anterior placenta, I still can't decipher a kick to a punch. I felt real movement around 24 weeks. Though I felt flutters since around 12 weeks, but they were off and on and wasn't sure if they were gas or flutters. So don't panic, you will definitely feel it.

I barely felt my baby all through my pregnancy, I also had an anterior placenta. I felt very few kicks and mostly felt anything when she had the hiccups, or stretched out. I think it was due to her position as well as the placenta.

I was the same- just fluttering felt occasionally. I'm 26 week plus 4 now and I can definitely feel her. I didn't get any real movement until over 24 weeks. Most don't feel it with their first until 26/37 weeks. Try not to worry xx
