has your DH felt the baby?

Roni.Cedra · January 2011

Mine hasn't yet. I think I can feel her on the outside, but it could be in my head.

If he has started, when was it? I have a feeling it'll be soon!

He has like twice. He doesn't have the patience to sit there with his hand on my belly. So we've been lucky to catch her moving twice for him to feel.

I feel her all the time now. From the inside and outside.

Yup, a couple days ago. It is still very light though!

Once, at like week 17ish. It was when I started to definitely feeling baby. He had to push pretty far in on my belly and he felt it move one time...Fast forward to today, my mom was at my house and was rubbing my belly trying to feel the baby move. Of course he/she was sleeping, so I ate a drumstick ice cream and we sat down and waited. When he/she woke up she pushed in the spot I was really feeling it and she felt it a few times. But it's def. not where you can just lay your hand on my belly and feel it.

he has quite a few times.

Mine can feel the baby...not all of the time. The Baby moves in the morning so every morning he has his tummy time. This just started last weekend - so just over 20 weeks.

No. She's kicked me hard enough that I'm sure it can be felt on the outside, but DH has never been there when it happens, and she usually only does it once or twice. I'm hoping that it will happen soon! He keeps trying

Same here. By the time DH comes running, it's too late and LO has stopped kicking. I'm definitely feeling it all the time though. Hope he will too very soon!

Nope

I feel her quite a bit, but it's still that ticklish flutter feeling. But at our sonogram she spent most of her time breech and facing my spine, so her little arms/legs are probably mostly kicking the back of my uterus!

Yes.

All. the. time.

I've felt baby very early on, and so did he- very shortly after I started feeling movement, 16wks I believe. {Thats when we were an onion, right? Right at the beggining of Onion we ALL could feel it}

You can actually SEE baby move from the outside now, and when I lay down you can see the slightest movements... its amazing. I haven't gained much weight, and Im tiny to begin with- not sure if that has anything to do with it, this is the First week I actually FEEl pregnant. I think i've finally popped- lol, better late than never!

kbel424 · January 2011

Just once, last week. He isn't usually around when she's real active.

sunflowr0803 · January 2011

I feel the baby move every day, but DH has only felt him/her twice. Sometimes I'll feel the baby moving and will have DH put his hand on my belly, but then the baby stops, lol.

waterfall11 · January 2011

DH felt her for the first time last Sunday- 21 weeks 2 days.

tarmar81 · January 2011

Since about week 20, H has been able to feel the baby move from the outside. It seems my LO is usually active between 8 and 10 pm, which is perfect, since that's when H and I are usually sitting around watching TV. It's definitely frustrating when I say "Hey, the baby's moving!" and then he puts his hand on my tummy and he/she stops moving, but most of the time he can feel a few little thumps. It's pretty cute.

thegoods22 · January 2011

No, but he really wants to. I wonder if it's because I wasn't stick thin to start with.

helenejr · January 2011

Yep - just earlier this week - @ 21 weeks, it was a big deal for him, it's great to see the way they react - it's such a special moment - i hope your hubby gets to feel it soon

SarahP15 · January 2011

it looks like i'm the minority here. i can still barely feel the baby from the inside, so DH has definitely not felt him moving yet. With the anterior placenta, doc says it might be 28 weeks before i even feel kicks.

CarlaAndJames · January 2011

Dangit to being a June caboose mommy! You guys get to do all the fun stuff first

Magenta728 · January 2011

He has felt it a few times. He gets so excited. It's so cute!

This exactly! Also, like PP said, DH doesn't have the patience to wait with his hand on my belly either.

I asked the doctor last time I was there, she said you can usually feel external movement by 24-28 weeks. So don't worry if you can't yet--it's normal

JuneBug0611 · January 2011

He thinks he has a few times, but it hasn't been strong enough that he's totally sure it's not just in his head! Often when I feel it on the inside I can also feel it very lightly on the outside, so I think he'll be certain of what he is feeling soon.

cowgirltn · January 2011

Yep we both felt it this weekend it was neat.
