Anterior Plecenta

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 11:03:39 -0500

I was told by my doctor that I have and anterior plecenta. I was woundering if anyone has ever had this before and when did you start to feel your baby move? I am 16 weeks and I have felt my lil girl move but not every day. sometimes I feel her every 2 days and sometimes I dont feel her for 2 or 3 days in a row.

I know that pregnant women are not suppose to sleep on their back but sides. Since my placenta is anterior can I sleep on my back?

Anterior placenta & sex

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:15:25 -0500

I am just over 14 weeks and when I went in to the Dr. the other day she said that I had an anterior placenta- which made it very difficult to hear the baby's heartbeat via the dopplar.

I read somewhere that many times people with an anterior placenta are to refrain from having sex. Is that true? or is that only true once a person is farther along and sex can help aid in sending someone into labor????

Anterior Placenta?

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:19:23 -0500

Hi! I had just over 14 weeks today and I went in to the Dr. today because I fell last night ( damn towels on the floor) anyways I went in as a precaution and the dr tried listening to the heartbeat on the dopler and could not find it- (this also happened at my last appointment) So my doctor had me to into ultrasound to double check everything- and the baby is just fine- she said the reason she couldn't hear the heartbeat on the doplar was because I have an "anterior placenta" I asked her if that was bad and she said NO- but I didn't really ask her what exactly that meant- I was just too relieved that everything was okay!

Can you tell me what exactly an anterior placenta is???

Ladies- Question about Fetal Movement

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:01:42 -0500

Hi there- I am 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow- Ive felt a few bubbling things, one undeniable tap and really nothing else much.

Im still not showing- ( I was overweight to begin with and havent gained at all the whole pregnancy infact I lost to begin with and am now back at starting weight- which IM not complaining about) but Im wondering if this is ok...

I will be 18 weeks tomorrow- and have had all excellent ultrasounds- its a girl! And I was told that I have an anterior placenta- which Im thinking is blocking the earliest movements??

Can you provided some reassurance? :)

Thank you all!!
