Cushioned kicks

Kerrie-x · Nov 18th, 2009, 06:20 AM

Last night i was led in bed and she started kicking, and i realized they feel far back, will this be because i have an anterior placenta?

Well i dont know because i have an anterior but Ive been feeling him since 14 weeks and his kicks have just got clearer and clearer, i can actually see him now so its really not bothered me, but i know alot of people cant feel there's for ages with anterior.x

I don't know but maybe the baby is facing backwards and kicking towards your spine rather than your belly? I sometimes feel them right inside so assume this is what is happening.

I have an anterior placenta too and my Baby's kicks feel cushioned, although they are getting stronger every day. Hubby still can't feel them though

As Greenlady said it could be because bubs is kicking towards your back, they feel very 'cushioned'. I too have an anterior placenta, but ive started feeling kicks quite firmly now, but with Evie I had an anterior placenta and barely ever felt her kick

, so i think it depends on bubs too. xx

Hey, sometimes kicks/movements feel quite 'deep' inside.... I'm not sure if it's her kicking towards my back or something? This usually happens when they are low down - when she moves higher up I can see my belly move!

Im the same as you, I feel the flutters and her wriggling but nothing like a real kick, well not what I think a kick would feel like.
I have 'high anterior placenta', which meant I have been showing forever, but hoping it protects me from kicks in my ribs etc haha

Ive decided not to be worried. I hear her HB once a week with my doppler and feel her wriggling, that will do for me

They didnt even explain my placenta to my, i read it myself when i got home. Im not worried, just getting inpatient to feel proper kicks, and so is hubby lol xx

It probably meant the baby was facing your back instead of your front. I found out monday that I have an anterior placenta too but when he's facing the front I can definitely feel and see the kicks well!
