I just started feeling last week due to a anterior placenta. I haven't felt the baby yesterday or today. I thought I felt something once but I wasn't sure. Last week I definately knew what it was because it was strong and it was a couple times a day. Of course I'm freaking out.
Nope. 22w4d. I also had a distinct period of a few consecutive days with no movement not long after I started feeling him, which made me really nervous at the time. I had an appt soon thereafter, and hb was fine and she said the "static" on the doppler was him moving around so no worries.
I feel him most days now, but not regularly through the day. Usually the only time I feel much of anything is when I lay down to go to sleep, and even then just a couple of taps. And I went a couple of days last week without even that.
I will be 22 weeks tomorrow. I feel movement once in awhile. Mostly pressure on my cervix/bladder. The last ultrasound showed him moving all over & jumping on my cervix.
I am 22 weeks and am now feeling her move daily but it's also my 5th baby so I think everything is a little more stretched out/thin allowing me to feel more than I would my first or second pregnancy.
I'm 20 weeks and while I've been feeling her move some it's not every day. My OB told me not to worry about it--in a few weeks, I'll feel her move and kick more consistently. There have been a few days this week I haven't felt her move at all. I just had my a/s and they said everything is normal, so I'm not worried about it.

Another anterior placenta, and just was feeling an occasional kick at 20 weeks. I was probably 24 or so before I'd feel her once a day, and further than that to have consistency. My doctor said that 20 weeks to feel any movement (even without an anterior placenta) is average, so a week or so here or there is okay.
i have an anterior placenta too and didn't feel anything until 22 weeks. it wasn't consistent really, and still isn't i'd say now either. as someone said above, i would feel movement mostly at night when lying down before sleeping. i would push/tap on/giggle my stomach and baby would usually respond back with a few taps/bumps. i pretty much did this every night until i felt something for reassurance. now i still don't feel all that much during the day, but i think it's because i'm so busy and not ever really just sitting down. when i finally get to sit down at night i feel movement, and usually again in the quiet time before sleeping too.
I have days where the baby is so active that you would swear I introduced it to coffee, red bull and sugar cubes at once, and then I will have 3 days of me wondering whether I imagined the baby moving. I am hoping it is going to become a regular thing soon.
I had an anterior placenta with DS1 and didn't even really feel him at all until almost 22w. He moved a ton on u/s, but I couldn't feel it. Even then, it was light and sporadic. I obviously don't have one this time, because I've been feeling strong pops/kicks every day since 17w and since 20w, they have been on a consistent pattern during the day.
I think the anterior placenta can mute movement quite a bit.
