Partner feeling kicks

21 weeks pregnant with second son. I can feel him moving very well but pinpointing it so my partner can feel too is very hard. He's only been able to feel him once, after waiting with his hand on my belly for over an hour. Can't remember from 6 years ago (with first born) when the kicks will become either more constant or easier to feel. Managed to record a couple kicks while my partner was at work but he's really excited to feel it himself, it's his first baby. Anyone know around what week it was easy to feel? TIA

I found it was very hit and miss around 21 weeks, he had to have his hand on my stomach just at the right time.
From about 25 weeks he could feel them regularly and now (27 weeks) baby seems to like kicking his hand away as soon as he puts his hand on my stomach 😂 and he has felt general wiggles and hiccups.
Hope he gets to feel more soon!

It’s my first so not sure if timings are different but my fiancée first felt baby kicks easily at around 23 weeks :)

Prior to that it was the same as you said, he would have to sit for ages and sometimes couldn’t feel them even with his hand there!
