When will DH feel baby move?

I'm 22 weeks with my first baby and I've been feeling movements for about the last 4 weeks. They have been getting steadily stronger which sometimes makes me jump but nothing is noticeable on the outside yet. DH is desperate to feel something and I'm quite keen too so he doesn't think I'm just going a bit mad with all my jumping around.

When did your DH/P feel movement?

I've found he has been able to feel it since 28 weeks.

Last night, at 20+1. Last time it was about 23 weeks I think.

Mine felt it at 18 weeks, I had to really jab his hand in though and I'm really skinny.

2nd baby about 17 weeks. 1st was quite a bit later - more like 22.

Mine were both around 16 weeks. It's best when lying in bed at night as we were both still and baby was kicking. Hope your DH gets to feel bump move soon!

About 20-21 weeks with the first - a couple of weeks after I felt it. Lie on your back in bed, and let him rest his hand on your bump. He will have to be patient and stay like that for a while!

DH felt movement about a week ago, maybe 2, so that would be around 20 weeks.

I can see my stomach moving now a tiny bit, at almost 22 weeks - so odd! DH has been staring like mad but hasn't seen it yet!

DP felt for the first time at about 24 weeks but now I'm 28w and he hasn't felt anything since, she is a little minx though, every time a hand goes on my belly she stops kicking until you move it Grin

Yes, same situation as with Nervous here - as soon as DH puts his hand on the bump everything stops! Hope he will have a similarly soothing effect on the baby after birth Grin

22 weeks for me too - when both lying in bed and resting hand with a bit of patience!

18 weeks. I'm now 23 + 5 and my stomach is jumping around like mad when the baby moves. You can plainly see movements through my top and sometimes the baby kicks so much I feel sick! I think we've got a lively one!

Mine felt kicks at 19+3. It was a bit of a belter though. I'm now 21+4 and only get ones that big every couple of days or so.
