Feeling babies with anterior placenta
When did you start feeling baby?
I'm pretty sure I felt one baby once at about 18 weeks, but I'm not sure since. It was like 10 seconds of thumping and it was where they lay and it was hard there.
Recently, I've been feeling "bubbles" in my lower belly where they lay. It's often after I eat so I'm not sure if it's gas. Although I never felt this gas before and its always in my lower belly. But who knows because at this point all my digestive organs are all rearranged in there so things can feel different. I also feel it more when I have to pee. ETA when I feel it its one or 2 quick thumps. Then nothing for 5 mins, then sometimes again a bit later. And its sometimes when I first wake up.

Feeling babies with anterior placenta
Around 26 weeks I was getting the fluttering and slight pokes. The movements slightly increased from there. I am 37 weeks today and I can tell you that I never felt what my co-worker who is 32 wks has been feeling for the past 2 months. Every time I went for a sono, the tech was amazed that I wasn't feeling what she was seeing on the screen. I guess I started really feeling jabs and kicks around 33 weeks or so.

First time i started to feel him was at 25 weeks. Now I feel him move more (i am 33 weeks now) but not consistently throughout the day, just more so at night.

This is pretty much me too.
At 16-ish weeks, i felt some pops. At 18-ish weeks, it felt like a fish swimming around in there At 19-20 weeks, i started feeling kicks. This is also when DH felt the first kick.
i'm 25 weeks now and feel kicks several times a day.

Re: Feeling babies with anterior placenta
I didn't feel DD until I was 21 weeks and then I felt her pretty sporadically my whole pregnancy. I actually went to L&D twice in my 3rd trimester because my Dr had me do those stupid kick counts and I wouldn't get enough kicks.
