Can daddy feel the kicks?

Lisacherv89

Hi ladies! I'm 22 weeks along now and I feel baby moving all the time, my poor hubby hasn't had much luck. I am plus sized and have had a belly before my new bump! But wondering when everybody's else's husband can feel?

I'm plus size and DD and DH have both felt the babies kick...I've even seen my bump move because of it. Same when I was pregnant with DD.

My hubby just felt her kick for the first time this week and I am almost 24weeks

I'm 21 weeks and my husband felt a kick two days ago. He said it felt like more of a strong vibration but he felt it. When I felt the baby kicking I had my husband put his hand on my belly and he pushed down a little bit and just kept his hand there for 5 minutes. He finally got to feel our little boy. It was soooooo awesome. Can't wait till everyone has this special moment.

Right at 19 weeks for us!  Then not again until maybe 22 weeks?  I can see my belly moving now even through clothing if it's form fitting, it's so strange!

DH felt first kick around 21 weeks, he can feel a lot more movement now a days.

DH feels baby about 50% of the time when he tries. SD keeps trying but unable.

DH feels the stronger movements.  It works best when I'm lying down.  They have this thing now where he gets really close and talks to her before we go to bed.  She goes wild!  Luckily, it's only a moment and she's not up for hours.

lol @bebemac. 

OP, DH can't feel baby yet. I am 23 weeks 1 day.

I still have an anterior placenta, so H hasn't felt any kicks yet.  I can feel them on my hands if I sit there with them on my belly, but her movements are so sporadic it's not exactly easy for H to have his hands on my belly for however long it takes to feel one little movement.

DH can't feel anything yet (I'm 20.5 weeks) but I don't expect him to be able to for at least a couple more weeks from what I have read here and elsewhere. I can't wait until he can, though.

My husband started being able to feel movement about a week after I first felt it, around the end of the 19th week.

I'm here, representing for my partner!!:) in fact, I was just seeing if I could feel our baby kick and no luck. And I also need to stop creeping and get a pic. I've been lazy, I admit it. Usually just lurking with my phone.

My H has been able to feel baby kick for about 2 weeks, mostly at night and only when I'm laying down flat. And tonight while taking a bath I SAW my whole belly twitch.  Pretty sure he would have felt that! It was so weird... and exciting!!

And welcome ladies!! @amysteiner @tortillachip99

My husband has felt him move once but it has to be perfect timing, and he had to be patient....which doesn't come naturally! Lol

DH has been able to feel kicks since about 17 weeks.

DH has yet to feel LO kick. I'm 23 wks 2 days and every time he puts his hand on me our son stops moving. Our son did kick DH's face the other night. He had his head on my stomach to talk to him and he didn't even feel him kicking his face. I thought it was kind of funny.

LaurelJoy91

I hadn't even been able to feel any kicks from the outside yet, but yesterday while laying in bed I felt it for the first time. H was laying next to me, so I put his hand there and and he was able to feel it too. What a good Valentine's day gift!

DH hasn't felt them yet, every time he tried she stops moving, but DS2 has, we were reading his Pokemon book and she was going so crazy he could see her moving, he thinks its "kinda freaky" (he's 10)
