[lou'n'4boys]

im 18 weeks today and still not feeling baby move its baby number 5 and im sure i felt the others earlier

im rubbish with the doppler but i can pick up a hb of 156(gotta be babba lol) i think i felt a couple of pokes the other day but am not too sure

is this normal?

My lo is so slow at this too but I do have an anterior placenta so thats why I'm guessing thats whats up hun

 

[munchkin1982]

I'm the same.... how do i find out if i have an anterior placenta???? xx

 

[Stunned]

Your 12 week scan would have picked up where your placenta is - check the little card they gave you after the scan to keep with your green booklet.

Mine is anterior too but starting to feel almost like nudges.

I didn't feel baby move until just after 20 weeks. I wasn't told in my 12 week scan that I had an anterior placenta, I was only told at my 21 week scan.

I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry about it too much, you'll soon start feeling movement

i wasn't told anything in my 12 week scan so i am assuming they will tell me at my 21 week scan so far i've had only two meets with the midwife and been to the hospital 3 times - 1 for scan and, 1 for blood tests and 1 for consultant as i am high risk being overweight... only a size 16 lol x

I didn't feel anything until the day before me 20 week scan. I haven't got an anterior placenta. Try not to worry, each pregnancy is different.

Lou I didnt feel Sid properly till much later than I felt the girls. I bet it wont be long now

 

[JJ Mum]

Bet it will be a max few weeks tops, let us all know when you feel baby!

Mine were all 22 weeks before I felt them

thanks ladies i keep thinking i feel little pokes maybe they are maybe ive got terrible gas haha i know baby is alright i had a scan 2 weeks ago and it was wriggling all over the show and i have a doppler so i can find the hb if i get a bit jumpy

i also carry plenty of padding and some have said depending on babys position that can have an effect too

i think im just being over paraniod

 

[kellylou]

I also have anterior placenta but feel little rumbly feelings still waiting for those big kicks tho am sure they will come soon enough and keep you awake!!!

 

[lou'n'4boys]

im finally feeling him.her wriggle-i felt what i thought was it at the end of last week for a couple of days and then it stopped again for a day or 2 but in the last 2 days it has done nothing but wriggle and poke me

im so happy

 

[Mamafy]
