My placenta is anterior also. I didn't really feel him moving until about 24 weeks. I'm 28 now and i feel him all the time. It was frustrating at first but nothing to ne worried about.

that makes me feel much better thank u. yh i have an appt for 21 week im not leaving that hospital till i know if its a boy or girl lol. x

I feel him close to every night, and sometimes during the day. Of course I work a desk job and get get to sit still most of the day. I honestly didn't feel him regularly until after my appt at 20 Weeks probably closer to 21 Weeks, but also because I didn't know what to feel for. To he it dwells like muscle twitches like you sometimes get on your eyelid, just ay the bottom of your belly. Do you have an appt to find out what your having?

im 17wks 3days. cant wait to find out wot im having. so how often do u feel ur baby then everyday? i think i feel him/her at night if that is what i think is movement lol this is my 1st baby past 12 weeks x

I know what you mean. How far along Are you? I'm 22 Weeks and get so frustrated that I only feel him only every so often. I only feel my baby boy at the very bottom of my belly, and now I think I've felt him twice at the top. I can't wait until my hubbie can feel him too. Oh and my placenta is anterior too. Made so much more sense as to why I couldn't feel him once  told that.

It can move, but even if it doesn't it wont be a problem. When the baby gets big, you'll be able to feel it.

ok thanks. will it stay at the front or will it move as a get bigger. x

Yes, an anterior placenta means the placenta is in the front. It also means feeling your baby move can be difficult.
