Still haven't felt her...

Hi this is my first pregnancy and I have been told at an ultrasound when I was 16 weeks that I have an anterior placenta. Now I'm 19 1/2 weeks and still have yet to feel my baby move is that normal? I have been extremely anxious.

Its harder to feel them with your first pregnancy, and also to connect the right feelings to movements. I'm thankful for an active little bugger though, but I think at my next ultrasound (20 weeks) it'll be much more relieving to see it rather than guess.

My placenta is by the opening of my cervix,  I'm 20 weeks and I don't feel the baby as much as I would like. I go back the 14 to have another ultrasound because she was face down wither her legs pulled under her.  I been told you don't really feel the baby until 22-25 weeks so hopefully it will be soon.

It's completely normal not to feel movement yet because your placenta is attached to the front and it makes it harder. Mine is attached to the front with this pregnancy and it's my 3rd. I didn't feel him move until 22 weeks.
