Not feeling movements yet at 20 weeks with an anterior placenta is common. The placenta at the front can cushion the kicks and make them harder to notice this early.
Next Steps
Keep track of when you start feeling movements, and mention it at your next antenatal visit even if everything feels fine.
Health Tips
If you still haven't felt regular movements by around 24 weeks, please see your doctor sooner rather than waiting.
