Anterior placenta - when did your partner feel movement for the first time?

I am 21 weeks and have an anterior placenta and have felt movements for around 3 weeks now but nothing from the outside of my belly. My partner is obviously super keen to feel - so when did your partner manage to feel movements if you had an anterior placenta?

About 23 weeks I think. I first felt something at 21 weeks, definitely after my 20 week scan. It’ll happen soon!

I think it was about 22-23 weeks for us, but have heard it can take until around 28 weeks.

@aug2ftm I have an anterior placenta and this is my first. I think I've been really lucky as have felt movement since 16 weeks. I can feel the kicks now on my hand at 19 weeks - partner has only felt it once as it's not every kick that's strong enough, just every once in a while it's a big enough boot to feel it with my hand on my bump xx

Very late, into the third trimester!

About 22 weeks

Around 28 weeks for me. But I didn't feel movement until around 24 weeks. (2nd baby).
