Anterior placenta

I had a scan on Monday and the doctor said I have an anterior placenta. Which means the placenta is on the front wall of my uterus. I’m really stressed about this because I’m afraid my one year old will bounce on my belly and cause an abruption. Anyone have experience with this?

First prenatal appointment

Is it normal to have your first appointment/dating ultrasound at 9 weeks? My first baby was conceived through a fertility clinic and I got an ultrasound as early as 4&6weeks. So I’m not sure if 9 weeks was normal or too late? Thanks🙂
