When did you first feel LO move from OUTSIDE?

[jcarriker]

Last night, I had a heating pad under my back and apparently LO didn't like it. I had my hand on my tummy and I felt him kick multiple times. Today I repeated the experiment with OH's hand on my belly and he felt it too! Is this even possible at 20 weeks?? When did you feel movement from the outside?

I was just over 19 weeks and I went from nothing to getting kicked and hit about 30+ times a day. Haven't had a day of peace since and I love it

I feel him move often, but last night I felt him for the first time very lightly on the outside. Was so amazing!

So it seems like 18 weeks + is normal to feel from the outside. : ) Can't wait for the kicks to get stronger!!

I felt movement from the inside (That sounds weird) from about 16/17 weeks, it's only in the last week and a half I've been able to feel it from the outside. It seems very much dependent on how baby is lying. Isn't it fab?

I was exactly 21 weeks, 2 weeks after I felt my first kick (last time round!)... Just starting to feel movements now so think it'll be a little earlier this time xx

from around 17-18 weeks i felt baby kick and could also feel it very lightly from the outside when i laid flat, OH even felt it at 18 weeks. thought i may have been wrong as it seemed too early, but nope that was definitely it, they've just got stronger and stronger x

I was 15-16 weeks feelin it very lightly from outside, the other day OH felt it too i was 17+2 and she kicked him twice hehe. First time round i was 16 weeks to the day LO kicked and daddy felt it about 8 times! lol

I felt him kick from the outside for the first time last night and I'm 26 weeks! We have lay there every night trying to get my OH to feel him kick. Last night I felt him very lightly and whispered to my OH to give me his hand, but he didn't do it again. He's very badly behaved and lazy - basically a teenager already!

ive been feeling movement from the outside from about 18 weeks and have SEEN it for about the past week or two! this is my first baby xx

It was about 3-4 weeks ago that I first felt it, and so did DH, though I think we were quite lucky to catch it as it was only happening very infrequently then. Now I feel something from the outside almost every day

in my first pregnancy my OH felt baby move at 20 weeks and with this pregnancy i am now 20 weeks and it feels like it could happen any day now...the kicks and movements are getting stronger

I could feel movement from the outside from about 19 weeks, and we have also SEEN movement the last week or so... officially the best thing ever! x

Last night! The day after my OH went away to work for a month - little monkey waited! OH is gutted! Was probably a bit later for me than most as I'm on the chubby side. x

Be careful with a heating pad. You don't want your core temperature to rise because the LO can't sweat in there lol

I was about 19 weeks

17+6

with pop i felt her kick at about 17 weeks and then tom felt her on the outside from about 20 weeks. i hated it when i was really close to bursting coz she had less space to move about and the elbow across the body really made me feel weird. i didnt like to touch it lol.

i can feel this one and have been able to from about 13 weeks. we heard the heartbeat today too so im now happy. x x x
