When did others feel your baby move?

How many weeks were you when other people 1st felt your baby move by touching your bump? Also where is/was your placenta located? BMI if you don't mind sharing as I see many ask if it'll take longer with a bit of extra padding.

DH felt this little one for the 1st time at 21+5wk, anterior placenta, BMI 32 at booking.

I have an anterior placenta, & had a BMI of 23 at my 12 weeks scan.

I think oh felt his first bill movement when we were about 25 weeks.

DS1 and 2 both anterior placenta. Never felt DS1 kick, but felt him physically move at 29weeks. (I didn't know I was pregnant with him until nearly 23 weeks though!) Bmi of 28 when I found out.
DS2 i felt at 18weeks and he didn't stop moving until the minute he was taken out. (Oh and dh felt him at 22weeks), bmi of 30 at booking in.

I felt mine shuffle last week (which was 15 weeks) when I sneezed quite dramatically. It felt like bubbles in my belly ❤️

Think he was telling me off for waking him up

Oh this is interesting, will be good to see the replies. I’m 23 weeks with an anterior placenta, bmi of 18.5 at 12 week scan and husband has felt nothing yet, hoping it will be soon that he can feel too.... I started feeling regular movement at 20 weeks which I was surprised at, thought it would take longer!

about 30 weeks. Anterior placenta. bmi of 22ish. By 32 weeks my colleagues could see my sons knee and bum moving round when I sat in meetings. My daughter was a smaller baby and it was much harder for others to fell her move

16 weeks my OH felt little prods, 3rd baby.
BMI 20 x

DH felt her kick for the first time on Saturday when I was 22+1. Posterior placenta, BMI of 30

Vida9090 · 15/04/2021 08:03

I think it was quite a while around 25-27 weeks with anterior placenta and BMI 23. To be honest with the anterior placenta I didn’t feel my baby move much all the way through, even at the end! She was really long and I have quite a short torso so I don’t think she had any room!

FrancesFlute · 15/04/2021 08:14

My first, about 19 weeks I think, BMI about 19 too.

notalwaysalondoner · 15/04/2021 08:15

Right after my second scan which was quite early at 18 weeks, so I think it was at 18.5 or 19 weeks. First pregnancy, anterior placenta, BMI of 20 before I got pregnant (not sure what it was at my scan). DH could feel it from the outside straight away - I had had some 'flutters' for a week or so before that but wasn't sure they were baby or indigestion/wind (I'm still not sure).

My BMI was 26 and I felt my (first) baby from 12 weeks but didn’t realise I was feeling the baby until 16 when the mw told me lol.
Gemmaemilyx · 15/04/2021 08:17

I have an anterior placenta (towards my right side) and felt baby move at 15 weeks but only low down or on my left side. It's only now (22 weeks) I can feel movement from all over. However more so on my left still. BMI was 24. I've put on 1.5 stone already (crying inside!!!). Xx

ChocOrange1 · 15/04/2021 08:20

Anterior placenta and BMI of 30. I felt her move at about 21 weeks and I think DH felt it at about 25 weeks

leftitlate37 · 15/04/2021 08:56

both properly felt for first time at 19 weeks a few days ago! BMI about 19 pre pregnancy. had defo been feeling some weird sensations which now think was baby moving, but got some sudden like pulses earlier in the week, and DH felt one of them! must have been a punch or a kick im thinking!!! so surreal still not got my head round it!!
