Hi
I am 24 wks pg & was just wondering when you felt baby kick "outside" your tummy. I have had my hand kicked a few times but DH is desperate to feel it too...we think he did feel a kick the other night as I felt it too at the same time but just wondered about your experiences.

With DD1 it was about 25 weeks and with this LO is was a litle later. It all comes down to timing - everytime DH put his hand on me DD1 seemed to stop wriggling, later on it becomes easier as the movements are more pronounced and also visable.

dh has been able to feel since about 17/18 weeks, i could feel from about 12weeks.

this is second pg though and everyone is really shocked at how big i am at 25 weeks, i think i am having the BFGs baby!

My DP felt him kick at around 19/20 weeks, this is our first baby. Im now 22 weeks and you can also see him kicking as well as feel it, hes a v active baby!

I'm almost 23weeks pg and DH hasn't felt baby move yet from the outside. I've been feeling movement since around 18 weeks this time round (2nd baby). I'm sure in a few weeks time it will be a different story and DH will be able to feel the kicks.

Don't worry everyone feels it at different times - partners, I mean.

DH felt baby kick at 20 weeks, and it was also the 1st time id felt baby kick from outside too.
we were watching a movie(terminator 2) and baby just seemed to go wild and the previous 2 weeks had just been little flutters.

Mine always missed it! I think it was quite late but don't remember. Towards the end you could see limbs poking out from my bump so he couldn't not feel it if he was around at the right time!

In late pregnancy he used to wake Daddy up kicking him through my tummy while I slept through it!

We were lying in bed watching tv when I was 18 weeks and my OH noticed it before I did! I thought I was just hungry!

I was 25 weeks when DH could finally feel it, though I could feel movement from 16 weeks. Was very frustrating for him, like others have said it seemed it always stopped when DH put his hand on me!
