With my 1st pregnancy I was about 24/25 weeks before dh could feel anything. This time round I've been feeling things from 16 weeks and dh has felt it a few times now 19+4. I always say though oh did you feel that and he can't. Just feels like a hard kick to me. Baby still small yet. Will come and when it does it will be a very special moment
I'm 19+6 FTM and I could def feel my little guy with my hand a couple days ago and then again yesterday. Yesterday, he probably had a sugar high because I had about 10 Oreos before bed. It's always while I'm laying on my back. H felt last time and the look on his face was so adorable.
For moms with an anterior placenta, I'm in the same boat at 20w6 days and have only felt things that *might* be the maybe every now and then in the last few weeks. My midwife said I should be able to feel more consistent movement in the next 2 weeks or so! Hang in there!
I'm anterior placenta as well- started feeling that "in the water" fluttering a couple nights ago!!! 20+4 today. I poke my belly when he does it once to try and make him again lol
I'm a FTM (not including miscarriages), and I am very small and have even lost more weight due to morning sickness in my first trimester.. Needless to say, my belly has barely changed and I felt flutters on inside at just passed 14 weeks. It progressed and got harder and more constant over the next two weeks and just passed 16 weeks I began to feel baby kick from outside - early I know but true. It took a little bit to get my husband to catch baby at the right time but by 17 weeks he could feel baby. I'm now 18+3 and can see baby move through tummy. Again- I'm extremely petit with a short torso, and my belly hasn't moved out much at all. I feel like baby is being squeezed.
First thing in the morning when we are just waking up the baby seems the most active for being felt on the outside, for me. My husband has felt kicks a few times this week, just at that time.
I am 21w4d and have been able to feel the baby for a couple weeks now, FTM. We can see some of the kicks from the outside and my husband has been able to feel him for a little over a week now. The little man is definitely the most active right after dinner, it feels like he starts a conga line at about 8:30 each night.

I was 23weeks with my first when I was at work and leaned back on my work chair trying to figure something out and placed my hands on my stomach when I felt my son kick my hands.
With our first, I honestly dont remember when my husband first felt her move. He was away over half of my pregnancy in academy for his new job. This time, I'm 20 weeks and he felt our little guy kick just this week!
@egraves4, I feel mildly panicky the day before my appointments because I'm worried about the baby too. I had a mc back in Feb. and I found out at the first ultrasound so it's always stressful for me until I hear the heartbeat. Hopefully though we'll get through it and our babies will be healthy!
@trishkev07 I know your pain! I'm feeling that way right now and my next appointment isn't until the 14th lol. Just gotta be excited when I do feel movement!

@egraves4@trishkev07 ladies I had a MMC and now with this pregnancy, I too, have high anxiety before each appointment and right when they're about to put the Doppler on my belly. However I feel movement now, tons of movement! And it eases those feelings knowing baby is alive and well! I hope the same for you both! Xo
I started feeling baby move at 18 weeks and since then he's consistently moving more and more! Anytime I go from moving around to sitting he will adjust. In the morning and night he will sit there and just kick away, he really likes when both DH and I talk to him, it always makes him move around
Just me ranting, but it has to do with this topic; DH has zero interest in feeling the babies move! He's just being a turd lately and a really party pooper about this last pregnancy.
Do you think maybe he's nervous about twins and that's how he's expressing it?
I think he just doesn't get excited about anything lol. I'm the one who gets really excited about stuff and he's very chill until it actually happens. Then he'll be totally into it. It's just frustrating because I want to feel like we're enjoying the pregnancy with it being our last and with it being twins, but he's just meh about it.
My husband is really not super into the pregnancy part of it either. This is our first but I think he's just really weirded out by all the medical stuff. He says he's excited about the baby but the pregnancy and everything happening inside of me just creeps him out. I understand, he gets a little squicky when we watch Grey's Anatomy so this is not a surprise. As long as he's excited about baby and "tolerating" the rest I'll take it. He's making the effort to talk to the baby but he wasn't like over the moon when he felt the first kick. Wait until we start seeing a foot poke out!! I think he will lose his mind.
I felt kicks at 18 weeks, and hubby could feel them at 20 weeks. At 21 I caught the kicks on video to share with family, they were very obvious to the eye at this point and feel much stronger. Now I'm just over the moon staring at my bump waiting for LO to show movement. Maybe odd, but being able to see the movement is really what has made it real for me. Surprised it has taken so long to sink in, but just so excited now!
Side note, I actually woke up startled in my sleep the other night from LO kicking. Makes me wonder how often this will happen as we progress and our LOs gets bigger?!
