   I have one of these they said, and they have told me thats why I havent felt much movement at all(placenta cushins movement) - anyway I was just wondering for those of you who have had this too when you started to feel movement?  - I cant wait to feel baby move, and I was just wonering when to expect it...

   I have one as well.
 Have been feeling kicks for about 3-4 weeks but very strong ones in the last 10 days.....
 
 With my first I felt movements at about 15 weeks.

   i have a posterior placenta and i'm still to feel any movements either mrs frantic    i first felt jack at 17wks, so this is a really long wait!!
 have you spoken to your midwife about movements? mine said i'd most likely felt him but only ever so slightly and not noticed.  she also said i should feel big kicks by 22wks, so maybe the next week or so will be it for us both!     |

   OK - a week late on this topic, but I had the scan yesterday and yep, anterior placenta.  I first felt baby move at 17 weeks, but not often after that (placenta's can move over time... I wonder if it wasn't anterior 3 weeks ago and that's why I felt baby then?).  In the last week or so there's been little flutterings, and no hope that hubby can feel the baby yet.  
I wonder if this increases our chances of getting a better night's sleep?!?  Well, less wriggling to wake us up - I'm hanging onto that hope!

   Hi 
I have an anterior placenta, I felt fluttering etc from about 18 weeks, (if I remember correctly).  I have felt heaps of movement the whole time throughout my pregnancy, I get a lot of kicking out my side, as my baby is currenly sideways.  I have been woken up a couple of times being thumped in the night, but I dont mind at all.

   I felt my first "fluttering" at around 17 weeks and then nothing until just after 20 weeks.  Now it's a constant dance party in there!  lol
