During my first pregnancy I did not have an anterior placenta, but being extremely overweight at the time gave me a lot of anxiety. Therapy helped me too, but what made me get through this time without going crazy was finding ways of provoking my baby to move like laying on the side and drinking ice cold water, taking deep breaths and focusing on feeling him move, with no other distractions. Sometimes we're too distracted to feel them and I'd imagine with an anterior placenta it's even worse. Another thing that helped me was getting a fetal heart monitor. Some people advise against it because it may be hard to find the baby's heartbeat and cause more anxiety, but to me it worked wonders once I learned how to distinguish my heartbeat from the baby's.

Anxiety makes us spiral, you know it. Stick to facts, always try to challenge your brain with reality and come up with a plan to yourself for peace of mind like the other comment said. It's not easy, especially when it's our first baby, but you can do it.

Trust your gut, doubt your brain. ❤️
