When did your other half feel kicks?

[Brightxeyes]

I felt a kick on the outside when I was coming close to 18 weeks and grabbed my other halfs hand. He felt an extra couple of prods.

I felt some kicking just too it's only certain positions and baby doesn't really have a pattern yet. Seems to always be odd times of the night though!

How early could your other halves feel kicks?

I heard usually it's 20 something weeks and thought 18 weeks was quite early?

This is my first and my husband has been feeling her since 19 weeks

I'm 32 and DH still hasn't felt baby move. I know you can feel external movement because I can feel it and my kids have both watched/felt my belly move. DH is just never around (he works 14-18 hour days atm) when baby is really moving so he misses out while the rest of us get to watch the show.

Technically, my husband would be able to feel my daughter now, at 18 weeks, but it's hard to catch her in time so he keeps missing it. She likes to push her whole body outward so a decent portion of my belly rises up. It's amusing, but she never seems to do it when my hubby is nearby. Today I started feeling the little kicks with my hand, too. Hopefully my husband will catch a break with the timing soon.

My OH could feel them by 18 too, although I started feeling flutters at 12 weeks. Now he kicks Daddy in the back when we cuddle in bed and kicked or punched so hard the other day he hurt my funny bone! I had my arm resting on my belly and bam, attacks my funny bone

He felt her at 20 weeks, he had been trying for a week or so when he finally got a kick!

My husband has not yet felt movement on the outside, I haven't yet either but I think I keep missing it. I did get a good kick in my lady parts yesterday which actually made me jump! Was the strongest I've felt yet so I'm hoping it'll be very soon!!!

My husband hasn't felt movement yet, mines so low down that it's hard to get to. I felt a massive kick from the outside the other night but he was already asleep!

18 weeks it could be felt from the outside, but he didn't catch it til 19 weeks. Now at 20 I can see my stomach moving.

I have been feeling kicks since 15 weeks and consistent movement since 19 weeks, but I have an anterior placenta and some extra padding so although I think I have felt her from the outside but my hubby hasn't been able to feel her yet

20 wks we can see and feel the baby move from the outside - more like the belly jumping. Each week it progresses. The 21st the jumping was more intense and then by now (almost 23 weeks) we can see the baby's body parts roll around and feel his arms or legs (cant tell yet) roll under my hands. and the kicks are much stronger. he definitely has had a nice pattern since about 19 wks. awake at 6 am for about a good half hour of noticeable movements and then again around 9-10 am , then again around 11-12. And so forth so like every 2-3 hrs I get a good half hour of movement. At bedtime its much more amusing because I can just lay there and watch what he is doing. even though I'm a veteran its still very amazing!!

I felt movement on the outside for the first time today yay!!! Was only the other day I commented saying I didn't feel it yet. So just goes to show it could happen any day

Yay! Congrats. It makes it that much more magical, right?

Nowhere near strong enough to feel on the outside yet. I'm not even sure I'm feeling kicks.
