POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. With an anterior placenta, it may take longer to feel baby movements because the placenta cushions the kicks. Typically, first-time moms feel movements around 20-24 weeks, while experienced moms might feel them a bit earlier.
Since you're 21 weeks, you may start noticing light flutters or taps soon, but strong, consistent kicks might take a few more weeks (around 24-26 weeks). Try lying down in a quiet place and focusing after a meal—that's when the baby is often more active. If you don't feel anything by 24 weeks, you can discuss it with your doctor for reassurance.
