DH felt DS1`when I was 19 weeks pg - I first felt him move when I was 15 weeks. He was a v proddy, wriggly baby though.

Any day now, you'll get a definite kick and then the next one in about a week....well, it probably won't be daily yet, as to when he'll feel it, when he's lucky!!!! The very first time my first baby gave me a kick, my dh had his hand on my tummy at the time, it was a really special moment and I thank God that we both felt it together! Good luck!

My dh never felt my ds moving. Whenever I would say, "Honey feel this" Ds would stop.

dp felt dd at abot 16 weeks and ds at 14, about 2 weeks after i felt the first flutters both times. (early movers!)

as soon as you're feeling definite movement dp should be able to ime, it just takes patiance on his part, like mkg most of the way through the second trimester dp missed the movement as the babies stopped when he was near (third trimester people at the other side of the room were laughing at my bump hopping around the place both timesand feet were sticking out!)

I felt it at 20 the last time and he was able to feel it a month after that. Don't expect him to find it thrilling after the first time though. For them the novelty wears off quick.
