When did you see your baby move from the outside?

I'm 21+2 and have definitely felt baby moving round lots for about two weeks now, but I'm not sure if I just watched her move inside or whether it was a twitch!! When did you experience being able to see your baby move?? I'm not sure if it's way too early for me

It's really hard to see mine move from outside at all and I'm 32 + 6! I can feel the baby a lot though. I'm not plus sized, so it's not that.
Occasionally if there's a massive movement I'll be able to see the tummy move, but no "poking out arms or legs" as you sometimes hear described! I think it's different for everyone.

First baby was a right wriggler and big, I could see his twitches from 17 weeks and felt him from 15!!!
This one is much lazier but still a giant and I started feeling proper movement at about 17 weeks and have been able to see from the outside from about 19. I'm 22 weeks now and get the proper belly wobble kicks which are fun to watch 🤣 still a lazy baby though!

I think it depends on your size, baby's size, placenta placement and how baby likes to lie. Also some are sleepier than others.

So I don't think it's too early to see it but don't worry if you don't see definite kicks for a while yet, especially as you can feel them fine Grin

I'm 28+6 with my first.

I have been noticing from the outside for a good few weeks now. Not necessarily an arm or a foot poking out but I can see my belly sort of 'jerk'.

I've felt baby from the inside for a while, but only now can I put my hand on the outside and feel for myself; boyfriend could feel on the outside before I could...

I'm very plus sized and noticed it at 28 weeks and have been noticing it more over the past week (now 29 weeks)

I'm very plus sized and noticed this for tje first time this week (26 weeks) it's not all the time though just occasionally. At least once a day :)

I started feeling the baby before that at about 24 weeks :)

Thank you everyone! I keep watching my bump just in case I see it againGrin it sounds like it's different for every person and baby, so who knows!

Around 20-21 weeks, still very sporadic, but I'm amazed as he has a lot of tummy fat to kick through Grin my daughters kicks I could only see if I balanced my phone case on my stomach!
