When can DH feel the baby move?

missanonymous · September 2009

I can feel the baby move (I first felt it at 18 weeks). DH is a little jealous (so cute!). When can he feel it? We can't seem to find anything on this, but we're thinking half way through 3rd tri.

My DH felt the baby for the first time around 22 weeks

It will likely be much sooner than that! I felt the baby for the first time around 18 weeks and DH felt around 21 weeks.

My husband felt the baby move this past weekend (19 weeks). But that was just lucky. That was the first time I could feel it externally too.

Also put us in the 22w catagory! DH saw my belly move at 23 weeks.

DH can feel the baby move as soon as the movement is strong enough to be felt from the outside and he is touching the right spot at the right time. DH felt DD last night for the first time, though he could have earlier had he been around for one of her dance parties.?

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it will be sooner rather than later!!!

DH felt him once around 23 weeks. Baby is super shy and stops kicking as soon as DH puts his hand on my stomach. But once his hand is gone, he starts kicking again.

DH felt the baby move around 18-19 weeks. I felt movement early though- at about 14-15 weeks I felt flutters and about 16-17 weeks I started feeling real kicks.

The more the baby grows though the more harder and obvious the kicks are to DH/others. Starting at about 22 weeks we could sit and WATCH the baby move because his kicks have gotten so strong.

Its funny though, DH always seems to make the baby move but for example, my mother will try and try and try and he isn't kicking for her! I told her she will have a calming influence on him!

This exactly. When we told the dr. yesterday she was shocked and told us we have an aggressive baby! haha

Week 22 is when DH could feel it, mine was feeling left out too!

The books say about a month or two after you start feeling movement, it can be felt on the outside. I first felt LO at 16 weeks, and sure enough, at 20w1d, DH felt him.

Are you finding out the gender? I know it sounds kind of like an old wives tale but I just KNEW from all the movement (and some pretty definitive dreams I was having) that it was a boy--- and I was definently right!

DH had his head on my belly and apparently LO didn't like him cramping it's space...DH got kicked in the head twice! I was 18wks 1 day when it happened. I felt the first solid kick at 15 wks.
