Plus-size 2nd time moms, when did you feel kicks on the outside?

DerpityDog

So I carry extra weight around my middle (I was a 16-18 misses pre-pregnancy), and I'm wondering how soon might I be able to feel kicks from the outside?  She's moving a lot, but I can't feel anything (and it's even harder when I rest my hands on my belly and can only feel my own blood pumping in my fingers!).

I am a 3rd time mom, 23 weeks. I still have only felt her outside ONCE. Otherwise, I just feel her inside. I also think she stops kicking when I try to feel her.

I am a 16 pre pregnancy and I stated feeling movement around 19 weeks my husband has also been able to feel him kick a few times. He can pack a hard Punch. I find when im resting/ laying down his kicks are harder maybe try relaxing hope this helps!

Guess I need to try feeling more.  I also have noticed she stops when I touch my belly.  Silly girl!

I can't feel a damn thing, so you're not alone.

I can feel her all day long moving around inside, but nothing from the outside.

I am a FTM with an AP and I hubby felt the first outside kicks on Saturday.  Hang in there!  It won't be long and she will be kicking up a storm

I can't feel from the outside at all yet. It'll come.

I'm very plus sized and both H and I were able to feel him on the outside the weekend before last, so I was 19.5 weeks along. I felt him again a few days later, but he's a stinker and stops moving when I put my hands there! It's different for every person, and eventually you'll be able to feel, and even see, everything from the outside anyway!

I'm a FTM and was a 14 before pregnancy.  All my extra weight is in my legs and belly. I'm 21W2D along and so far only feel our little guy from the inside. My BF keeps trying to feel but even I only feel my pulse in my fingertips like a PP.  Good luck.  Please post when you feel her on the outside! Hope it's soon for both of us!

I thought I felt him on the outside last night, so I put DH hand on my tummy and he quit kicking me, as soon as my hubby put his hands back on there he stopped kicking again!! little pest.

Still waiting... With my first, I didn't feel definite kicks until they were strong enough to feel from the outside, which was right around this point... 21ish weeks. Looks like this time it's taking just as long, if not longer. Both pregnancies I've had anterior placentas also. I'm definitely feeling movements very low pretty much daily. But not actual good kicks yet.

Same!
