Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I’m 18 weeks+2days. I have attached my last scan at 16weeks and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if I have an anterior placenta? From the scan. I haven’t felt any moment from my baba yet and just worried. I suffer with anxiety which I think is making me worse.
Xxx

It should say in the piece of paper they fill in if you have an anterior placenta. I had one and didn’t feel proper movement until around 23 weeks. Also with a normal placenta you don’t always feel movement just yet x
I felt first movement at 18 weeks and my midwife told me that was really early to feel movement with your first baby, most people don’t feel it until after 20 weeks.
My consultant said not to worry if no movement, it starts about 23-28 weeks, or so he said but everyone is different easier said than done but try not to worry xx
Thank you everyone I have got my next scan in 2 weeks I was just worried as everyone keeps saying you should feel something between 16-20 weeks and I guess I was just worried xxxx
I had a low lying placenta on my 20 week scan, I only felt baby's movements properly at 22 weeks and even then only when I really sat and concentrated.
I'm 32 weeks now, happy healthy baby and feel every tiny movement, all information that says you can feel movements from 16/18 weeks is the rare case, and not the average for sure!
Try not to worry, you'll be wishing for the movements to stop because they're so strong before you know it!
