My placenta is high, this is my second baby. But I was just wondering what everyone else felt their baby move at.

It all depends my first I was 20 weeks my second I was 30 weeks and my third I was 18 weeks. Did they say if you have placenta abrevia or placenta previa these can affect you feeling babies movement.But still everyone is different I have placenta abrevia and I've felt every movement I am currently 39 weeks due Sunday.

Everyone is different especially if its your first.

Sometimes you feel movement in 20 weeks... others further along... or earlier... most first time moms is after 20 weeks though.

Sometimes the baby is too far back, or the placenta is infront of the baby.

Some babies are a little far back or you could be feeling it and domt realize it. With my first i first felt him at 20 weeks with a big kick to the gut. But with my second i was feeling him around 15-16 weeks like popcorn in my tummy or flutters. And when it got stronger around 20 weeks you couldnt feel it on my tummy it was near my vag that you could feel pulsing flutters that only my husband and i could feel obviously since it was too close to my vag for other people to touch haha
