'It’s not unsafe, it doesn’t affect the baby and as long as no problems are caused, you go on to have a normal pregnancy. But it does mean I barely hear my baby kick...'
I know I’m experiencing something that some women dream of, what I once dreamed of, that I never thought would happen, and so I never take any of it for granted.feel quite disappointed about. The fact that I have anThe term ‘anterior placenta’ refers to the location of the placenta within the uterus. Most of the time, the egg will place itself in the posterior side of the uterus, closest to the spine, where the placenta eventually develops.
Most people feel their baby move between 18 and 24 weeks, but it can be hard when you have an anterior placenta because the baby is cushioned, so there’s a huge chance of feeling things much later - and not as much throughout the pregnancy, meaning it’s hard to get to know your baby’s movements. Especially when kick counts come into play.
I can’t help feeling jealous of these other women. I am so grateful for my little boy, but having an anterior placenta fills me with anxiety. I find myself constantly comparing. I panic when I hear other mums feel their babies move non-stop throughout the day whereas I just feel mine here and there when the kicks are strong enough.
I suffer with anxiety anyway, and having an anterior placenta has made it worse. To check everything is okay I have been booking private scans, because unlike other women I’ve been unable to rely on the reassurance of kicking.
