I had an anterior placenta. I felt my baby move mostly on the side of my belly and the top. I’m thankful that even with an anterior placenta that I still felt the movements, that really is the best part of pregnancy.
@@potato1084 same here with my baby flipping head down early. At my 29 week ultrasound sound, they said she was head down and she stayed there. The top of my belly always felt so full.
Awesome! I have an anterior placenta with my first baby. Currently about 23 weeks pregnant and have been feeling our boy kicking and moving a lot in my lower right side of my belly since about 20 weeks. I’m glad I can still feel him moving even with my anterior placenta but I did have a lot of questions regarding this. Thanks for the info!!
This was so helpful! I have an anterior placenta and now I know why I just started feeling baby move every now and then and his movements aren’t too strong. Thank you, Ali!
I delivered with a complete previa at 33 weeks last July. I had a hemorrhage at 32 weeks and was admitted to the hospital for the duration of my pregnancy (c section scheduled at 36 weeks) however one week later at 33 weeks and 1 day I had another massive hemorrhage and my water broke and it was section time. Baby is perfect and 5 months now ❤
31 weeks along/High Risk-previous preterm/AMA/with Anterior placement. The OBs had a tough time the first couple of appointments locating baby's heart beat. This little man moves so much mostly above the belly button is where I started feeling more movement. I can feel him lower now and can only imagine how much more movement I would feel if the placenta was in a different location. Thanks for covering this topic. Looking forward to more videos. We appreciate your knowledge Dr AliRod.❤
Thanks for this! My first baby was a fundal placenta, my second was a posterior and this babe is only 16 weeks but I’m fairly confident we are posterior again because the movement is so clear to me.
This was SUPER helpful!! I have an anterior low lying placenta so this video was super informative. I’m 14 ½ weeks right now, due in June! We’ll see how it goes InshaAllah ❤ I love your videos, they’ve given me so much consolation and information as this is my first pregnancy. Keep up the good work, and congrats on your motherhood!! ❤🎉
I have Ant low lying off cervix, and my baby is breech,I'm worried,I'm 14wks, how is it going with you and what's your baby gender with Anterior placenta
This really explains it well ❤❤ I just found out that i’m having an anterior placenta🎉😅 I hope I feel my baby movement as much as possible because this is my first pregnancy 🤰 and the excitement and the experience is so amazing 😊😊
I had placenta previa, but they said it was implanted low, I had just found out I was pregnant, and started bleeding, so I thought I was having a miscarriage. We went to the er and I was 4 weeks and 3 days. I ended up carrying until I was induced at 37 weeks. I was able to have her naturally. And now she is 20yrs old!
I'm in the same position, anterior low lying, had a ultrasound at 20 weeks when I found out it was low lying went back again at 27 weeks still low lying and didn't move a bit 😐 and really hoping for a natural delivery, did yours move up at all yet?
I also found out at my 20 week- at my 27 week follow up, mine had moved up a few centimeters! So mine is thankfully no longer considered low-lying! You’ve still got some time for your uterus to grow, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that yours moves up as baby and your uterus grow!! My doctor said they frequently resolve as the pregnancies progress! Sending you happy thoughts!
@@Kenz.Clouse that's great news so happy for you!! Yes I'm keeping my fingers crossed and just leaving it in God's hands now, hope I'm as lucky as you❤
I had a slightly low lying anterior placenta at 22 weeks but by my 36 week scan it was high up and completely fine for a natural delivery. If it hadn’t moved I wouldn’t have been able to have my chilled birth centre delivery at the hospital so I’m glad. 😅
I feel like I’m pregnant for the 1st time with this pregnancy (3rd baby ❤️) bc I have a posterior placenta this time! Lol I can feel soooo much more. My first two babies had anterior placentas & I could not feel them well at all!
Posterior placenta after having to do IVF - I didn’t even know how lucky I was to have a posterior one until around 20 ish weeks. So blessed to feel every little movement. I first felt him at 13 weeks and now that I’m 32 weeks, I know I was feeling hiccups that early. He’s a busy little boy!
Great video! With my last baby (25 years ago) mine was fundal. However, I have a large fibroid that was in the way for delivery. I would love to see a video about that. I was watched very closely all day, I was induced because I never actually go into labor on my own. (Bets were made that I would need a section, but ended up delivering vaginally a 9lb9ounce, 22 inch boy)
I am now 31 weeks pregnant. I was so worried when I found out I had an anterior placenta. I was mainly worried about not feeling my baby movements! I didn’t feel her strongly until I turned about 27 weeks! Now I see her and feel all of her movements lol
Anterior, posterior and then posterior again. I have been able to feel my posterior babies SUPER early on. I’m due in late February! We’re very excited 😁🥰
@@potato1084 yeah I’ve been able to feel all my babies early on, but with my first, I really questioned if I was feeling the baby or just gas. Even with my second and third I questioned if it was gas but I definitely was feeling movement! It was so cool!
Anterior placenta again for me with this second pregnancy 😭. My daughter was pretty active in the womb just like she is out lol so I felt her all the time but I’m hoping this baby will be too!
I had an anterior placenta. No issues with the placenta but my daughter was breached and I had low amniotic fluid and had to have a c-section at 35 weeks because the levels kept dropping.
I'm 20 weeks and a 1st time mom and had my anatomy scan last week and they found that I had complete placenta previa but said it's possible that it will migrate to a different position because I really want to avoid a c-section.
i’m 37+3 and was similarly diagnosed with complete previa at my 20 week scan. doc said it would move, just a matter of how much. i now have low lying placenta, but it’s only 7mm away from the cervix so i will likely have to have another csection. so don’t totally lose hope mama.
Am 18 weeks pregnant and in my recent appointment my doctor said the baby is way down in my uterus which is too early by 18 weeks . Please what problems can that cause and how do i take precautions 😊
I found out mines low and anterior also , I'm also 32 weeks babys heads fully engaged and I have severe pressure on my cervix is this normal my 5th pregnancy! I think my placenta moved also.
I think so. Especially at this time. I am only 29 weeks and I’ve had some days where I have more cervical pressure. I do remember with my last pregnancy, especially towards the end, having more and more cervix pressure.
I'm 21 weeks now with an anterior placenta, chubby plus size belly, AND old scars... I haven't felt him move yet! I've seen him moving a lot on ultrasound but I can't feel him yet... 🤞
I’m 22 weeks with a left lateral position, bilobed AND a marginal cord insertion between the two lobes. So many weird placenta things but the baby looks perfect so far.
Interesting. With my son I had one that I assumed was low lying because at the anatomy scan they had to do a transvaginal ultrasound to measure my cervix bc some of it was covering.
placentas are so interesting! My first pregnancy i ended up getting an infection in my placenta, now im currently 36 weeks with my 2ed and had a scan done today and i was told i had calcification spots on my placenta! So now i have to have a weekly scan! Can you do more videos on placentas?
I might not be 100% correct on the specifics of this but having a low lying placenta can be too close to the cervix or even lay on top of the placenta which can increase risks of placenta abruption during a vaginal delivery which can cause you to bleed out so to avoid and danger to you or your baby the doctor will schedule a c-section but if your placenta moves up enough from having a low lying placenta which can happen it's rare but possible then you can have a trial of vaginal labour but if anything does go wrong in labour you still have a chance of having to have an emergency c-section
@@adriannegonzalez3277 I meant do they go through the placenta during a C-section or impact the C-section at all. OB said today - no, they go through it.
I had an anterior placenta with 3 of my 4, and one of them was borderline low-lying early on but moved up later. That baby was breech until I had an ECV at 38 weeks. I've wondered if the anterior placentas had to do with my uterus being retroverted. I felt all of my babies very early. With my first, I could feel and see kicks from the outside at 17 weeks even with the placenta right up front. At the end, she kicked me so hard that my ribs were bruised.
Love your channel Can you talk about synchronic hematoma My daughter has been told she is 6 weeks pregnant but has been bleeding and that hematoma When can you hear the baby heartbeat at how many weeks and can hcg levels rise then drop and go back up
How does it work if you have 2 patients about to deliver at the exact same time? Im sure it may be rare but say you have 2 patients at the pushing point.. how does that work?
It's rare, but also why we have call schedules and even back up doctors to help cover! Usually if two patients are pushing occasionally we have to have one patient stop pushing or labor down. Same thing happens if there's an emergency going on with one patient but the other one is stable.
I had complete previa with my second pregnancy. I had 3 bleeds (second one being a massive hemorrhage) and delivered at 31 weeks. We are considering trying for a third baby but I’m terrified. Is it common for this to happen again or typically just random? I did not have it with my first pregnancy.
I have an anterior placenta and I can feel very strong movements. I’ve been feeling it and seeing her move since around 18 weeks. Is this normal? My doctor didn’t believe me at first, so I had to record it.
Hello ma'am, I am 14 week pregnant with anterior placenta. I want to travel by plane that is 2 hrs journey, please suggest me wheather I will travel or not . Is it safe to travel with anterior placenta.
This makes so much sense. I guess I have always had posterior placenta in my previous pregnancies because I was able to feel my babies movements very early on, like around 10/11weeks. This pregnancy I got scared because I couldn’t feel my baby moving anymore nor track a heartbeat on my at-home Doppler so I went to the ER to check for miscarriage. The ultrasound nurse showed me exactly what you mentioned here that I had an Anterior placenta. I saw how much “cushion” was in the way and my baby was “hiding” and tucked away behind it. 🥹 Of course their equipment was able to pick up the heartbeat very quickly and I just cried tears of relief.
i had an anterior placenta with my second baby but i sure as hell still felt him kick like crazy! now, with my third, i was diagnosed with complete placenta previa at 20 weeks😢 as of now (37 weeks and 3 days) it moved but is only 7mm away from the cervix and considered low lying. i’m rather devastated as i was so excited to have another VBAC.
I had an anterior placenta. I felt my baby move mostly on the side of my belly and the top. I’m thankful that even with an anterior placenta that I still felt the movements, that really is the best part of pregnancy.
It’s when I start to bond with baby the most!!
Same!!!! The top of my belly was so so sore especially since my baby flipped down and got engaged really early on.

This is interesting, my placenta was abnormally large with my daughter. My OB was fascinated by it after the birth.

If your placenta is on the left side of the stomach, is that normal?
I had an anterior placenta. No issues with the placenta but my daughter was breached and I had low amniotic fluid and had to have a c-section at 35 weeks because the levels kept dropping.
I had anterior and low lying until about 24 weeks that fixed itself thankfully
I love this. I have anterior placenta and baby in transverse lay.
This baby is posterior and the back pain is greater than my 3 anterior babies.
I am 19 weeks w an anterior placenta and I don’t feel much movement but she’s very active. I am also high risk w hypertension
I had an anterior placenta yea i felt my baby but it was more like butterflys/ soft movement , but i sware he'd kick my bladder at 1am 😅

What causes this infection
22 weeks and have an anterior placenta 😊 I have ben feeling baby move for a few weeks but always on the left side
I have a posterior fundal placenta with a small succenturiate lobe anteriorly of the fundal. Baby No.3
How does a low lying anterior posterior placenta impact having a C-section?
I might not be 100% correct on the specifics of this but having a low lying placenta can be too close to the cervix or even lay on top of the placenta which can increase risks of placenta abruption during a vaginal delivery which can cause you to bleed out so to avoid and danger to you or your baby the doctor will schedule a c-section but if your placenta moves up enough from having a low lying placenta which can happen it's rare but possible then you can have a trial of vaginal labour but if anything does go wrong in labour you still have a chance of having to have an emergency c-section

I have an anterior placenta and I'm now 27 weeks, only feel the baby lower down or slightly on the sides if I'm laying down side ways ...
I had a posterior placenta with my first and a fundal placental with my second
She put anterior placenta, but it was on the right front side of my stomach so wouldn't that be a fundal placenta
I would love to hear your experience on what contractions felt like for you.
Never got to experience them, I had a scheduled C-section at 36wks
Love your channel
Can you talk about synchronic hematoma
My daughter has been told she is 6 weeks pregnant but has been bleeding and that hematoma
When can you hear the baby heartbeat at how many weeks and can hcg levels rise then drop and go back up
Can you talk about placenta accreta?
Great video! Thank you ❤
Unrelated question, can someone with a j tube and ileostomy safely carry and deliver a baby?
Does it take longer to find baby's heartbeat in Anterior placenta?
How does it work if you have 2 patients about to deliver at the exact same time? Im sure it may be rare but say you have 2 patients at the pushing point.. how does that work?
