Anterior Placenta or not?

I was told by the sonographer that I have an anterior placenta.  Meaning,  my placenta implanted itself in front of my uterus instead of in the back,  which poses no risk but I may not be able to feel baby kicks in the front.
So, it did take longer for me to feel baby this time which was around 21wks. But now @ almost 24wks Im now feeling baby kicks in the front & I can feel him/her move.  Does the sonographer know what she's talking about?  This is also the same sonographer that has scheduled me 3 Times to finish my anatomy scan that she claims the baby is never in the right position. I'm skeptical.

Baby kicks are definitely getting stronger as the weeks progress.  N it's true that there was/is a possibility that you wouldn't have felt the kicks as early as much or as strong as someone with a posterior placenta

I have the same thing. They did tell me that it wss a possibility to feel the baby less than if it were positioned differently... but I feel her all the time.  So it hasn't been any different for me this time around :)
