early outside movement

[KElwanger]

Anyone else felt their babies move early on the outside? Like your dh can feel it too? With my first I felt him at 16+5 and my husband felt 5 days later. This time around I felt baby kick at 16+5 again and my dh felt 6 days later (last night)! It was great! But it seems like so many women say no one else can feel baby kick for at least a couple weeks or more after they feel it. Does it mean my uterus is just really forward and against my stomach? It certainly feels like it.

No urgency in this post, just curiosity

I was like that with my daughter and this baby also... only a few days after I started feeling strong kicks OH was able to feel them.. now at 22w3d we just watched baby kick my cell phone off my belly

All women's bodies and babies are different. Don't let them tell you different

I'm 17w2d... I started to feel "bubbles" over a week ago and just today could SWEAR I felt little taps on the outside too. OH says he felt them this evening too when I put his hand where it was.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I could swear it!

Everytime I grab his hand to let him feel, she stops kicking. It's so frustrating!! I just turned 21 weeks, but I have felt outside kicks since week 18.

My husband and family were able to feel little kicks starting at 18 weeks!

Good to know there are others out there! Maybe we've got super strong babies or really thin uteruses haha. Hopefully the former!! It's so fun to feel the baby move around and even better to share it with others!

With my son, i was early 20's when I felt him on the outside. This time around, I have been feeling baby since 15 weeks on the outside. My uterus is REALLY far forward though. I had a check yesterday and the midwife couldn't believe how forward it is. It's like someone's stuck a balloon to the front of me haha.

Course, OH hasn't felt anything yet. The midwife yesterday was all "ooooh that's a strong one!!" OH rushed over to feel, and baby promptly stopped moving. Midwife put her hand there, and off baby went again haha

That makes me jealous haha, I can't wait to be able to feel them from the outside so I can share the feeling with DH. Every once in a while I'll feel small little movements but I haven't told DH cause I don't want him to get jealous. He's so excited it's adorable. hah to be honest I really wanna see how my dogs act cause they like to lay across my tummy and stuff to snuggle and I wanna see what happens when baby says "Hey get off me" and bumps them. x) Also my baby sister, who is almost 4, I want to see her reaction to my moving belly. I just can't wait, I think that's what I'm looking forward to most at the moment.

16 weeks with this one, so far on u/s he's weighed just slightly under average so I think it's just a matter of positioning! I felt it on outside by 18 weeks with my first, it's got to be how my body holds them that allows that. xx

I felt my first kicks at 19 weeks and my husband only felt the first kick when I was 26w1d! I felt it a few times at around 24w from the outside but baby always stopped when it made my husband feel lol

My dog was laid on my belly last week when she got kicked in the head, it was hilarious she was fast asleep and fell off the bed she was that scared lol! Baby kicks me all time when i'm laid down but stops as soon as OH comes near.. we was sat watching tv other night and he saw my belly move, rest of time i have to video it or i think he would think i'm fibbing lol

AWE! I think my older dog will freak out, she's scared of her own shadow lol. The puppy we got to take our mind off babies like 2 days before I found out I was pregnant will probably get all curious and excited lol. I asked DH the other day if he'd watch when my belly starts to shape shift and he was like "UHH yeah, I don't think you realize how excited I am"
I got to see baby for a split second on a scan when I went to the ER the other day and I forgot to bring my phone and DH is all jealous so we're visiting his family for his birthday this weekend, and his mom works at L&D so he's taking me to see her to get a scan so he can see the baby. I just hope he/she moves this time. From what I saw baby must have been asleep cause he/she was still. Made me a little worried but HB was 156 and they said everything was fine

AMB- My lil girl was very still on our scan a couple weeks ago. But then the ultrasound tech shook the crap out of us.. and it was on lol. I wouldn't worry
