anterior placenta

[fezz26]

I just had my 12 week ultrasound and was told my placenta is in the front ( anterior placenta ).
This is baby number 2 and my first was a c-section  when I googled this the most common complication was that the placenta can grow into the c-section scar. I don't want to scare my partner because he worries a lot ( as it is he won't touch me until the Dr tells him it's safe ) and I don't want to worry myself either I haven't seen my Dr yet but have any of you ladies experienced an anterior placenta?

I've an anterior placenta but my doctor said natural birth is possible for me, I'm really hoping not to go through a c section, ftm so don't have much idea!

I also have an anterior placenta, but my first was not. I have never had a c section so I don't know anything about that. We didn't feel clear movements from the outside for a while, but we feel plenty of movement now, since 30 weeks or so.

Im pregnant with no.2 but had a anterior placenta with both. The only major concern is that anterior placentas can grow low in the uterus and cover up the cervix so you cant have a natural birth and ends in a c section. Its also harder to feel babys movements with a anterior one but I wouldn't be worried unless you have been told by your doctor or midwife that something is wrong :)
