Feeling the Baby Kick?

Just curious as to when you all first started to feel your baby move or kick?  I am pretty sure I have felt her move for the past week or so but when I try and have my husband feel it, he says he can't yet.  I am so excited but want him to share in it too!  Thanks!

Re: Feeling the Baby Kick?

  • I felt flutters around 15-16 weeks.  I think I felt kicks around 20-22 weeks.  DH couldn't feel any kicks until around 26ish weeks when they got stronger.

  • I started to feel the flutters around 17 weeks and full kicks/movement around 20.  It wasn't until the last few weeks (22-24) that DH was really able to feel the kicks.  Yesterday was the first time you could visually see movement.

  • I felt movement very early. Flutters started at the end of January, which was about 13 or 14 weeks, and then hard kicks/somersaults started in February about 16-17 weeks.

  • I also felt them earlier than most.  According to my pregnancy journal, I felt flutters at 12 weeks (which could have been gas, but they started more regularly at 13 weeks).  Kicks started at 17 weeks.  DH felt a kick on the outside at 19 weeks.

  • I realized what I was feeling around 19-20 weeks.  I was feeling him earlier than that, but I didn't know what it was and assumed it was gas.  Embarrassed  Oops.

    My husband didn't feel him until 25-26 weeks. I will say that movement didn't become consistent until 26 weeks.  At that point, I was able to feel him multiple times a day and tell sleep/wake patterns.
