Merline I too have anterior placenta and this is what my gynic said" Anterior placenta is the placenta is in front of the uterus and the baby has taken back stage, it doesn't affect the baby in anyway however as mothers we might not feel the baby kicks easily like others, as the placenta is in front. Do not worry the placenta will change its position as the pregnancy process. She also said bit difficult to hear the heart beat but in my case we heard it easily.

It's will not affect.. Anterior means it's on the belly side of the uterus .. And posterior means on the back of the uterus.
