Lazy baby and an anterior placenta?
Today I had an ultrasound. I am 12+ weeks and the baby didn't really move that much in the ultrasound. The heartbeat was fine and strong 160BPM but just wasn't moving much. I guess I am just not used to that because with my daughter she was always always moving. I guess it's not really a question but I am just a little worried though I know it's okay. The baby was moving the arms from the side to it's face, My other question is what is an anterior placenta? Well it make it harder for me to feel the baby.

I don't think you have anything to worry about at all. So long as the sonographer saw a heartbeat (they would have told you if they hadn't) then it's just the babe chillin' out. Relax, and enjoy your pregnancy.
An anterior placenta simply means that your placenta is positioned on the front wall of your uterus (womb).

Nothing to worry about. I had an anterior placenta with my daughter. It just means your uterus is positioned in the front of your uterus instead of the back. It will make it a little harder to feel the first kicks and sometimes the rolls etc. But it isn't a bad thing.

Babies really don't move a lot at 12 weeks. There are more periods of inactivity than activity at this point in the pregnancy. As long as there was a nice steady heart beat your baby is fine. Anterior means "front" so your placenta is on the front side of your uterus, and yes, when it is in this position it can reduce your perception of the baby's movements.
