when did you feel movement from the outside?

shipoopiisforme · February 2010

i feel like every other day is a dance party in my belly but nothing strong enough to feel from the outside yet. just curious when you could feel movement from the outside.

mh loves the daily reports on what the beans are doing but can't wait until he can feel them.

I was wondering the same thing as I have not felt it from the outside yet.

We have a little kicker in there, for sure, MH just can't feel it yet!

I was laying flat on my back and felt it on my hand at 16w3day It took a long time for DH to feel him. Like maybe 21 or 22 weeks.

22 or 23 weeks I felt a little tap. Then the "alien movements", as DH would call it, began at about 28 weeks where I could see my stomach moving. It took the longest time for H to catch a kick, everytime I would feel it once he put his hand there Dillon stopped.

If I remember correctly, it was around 23 weeks.

Right around 18-19 weeks, I think. I first felt movement at 17 weeks, and it wasn't too long after that DH could feel it.

I want to say around 25 weeks.

It was 23 weeks for me. It was so exciting!

Not until 26+ for me. Every baby is different, so don't worry if you don't feel it quite yet!

Outside movement started for me around 21 weeks but it was rare. By 24 weeks though DH could feel her kicking on a nightly basis. I'm sure your H should be able to feel those little ones very soon

I felt movement between 17-18 weeks. I felt it from the outside around 20 if I was pressing down in the right spot or sometimes I could feel him kick at the doppler at home. DH didn't feel it till about 22weeks from the outside. Everytime I'd feel it and have him come over baby would stop.

MH didn't feel them until around 22 weeks, and that wasn't even all the time.

thanks ladies! i am not exactly a skinny minnie so i am guessing it will be later rather than sooner.

I think it was around 21 weeks. About a week after I could see my belly raise up a tiny bit when they kicked/punched. Now it's to the point where I can see them moving and they can actually move my hand/arm when it's resting on my belly. It gets crazy when they are both moving at the same time!

clojel · February 2010

I started feeling it around 16 weeks (kind of early, my LO was a little maniac in there!!) and DH felt her for the first time around 18 weeks. You should be able to feel them soon - its such a great feeling!!! I kind of miss it...though have the LO out of me is nice too

Around 21-22 weeks for me.

CandT · February 2010

I had a hard time telling if I was feeling it on the outside or not since I could feel it inside. But DH felt one kick at 20W . They are so random it's hard to be ready for them, but it's starting to get easier now at 23W and I saw it for the first time at 23w1d.

Have fun!!
