Feeling movement from the outside

KikiCohen · February 2013

I just started being able to feel small kicks and flutters last week. I can't seem to find any type of consenus on when DH should be able to feel LO kicking too. What are your experiences?

I felt kicks from the outside around 20-21 weeks last time. It took a long time before DH was able to feel them because it happened infrequently at first. This time I felt a few kicks from the outside starting a few days ago. I can't wait until it starts happening more!

My uterus is tilted. So H was never able to feel them from the outside. However, we were able to see DD roll around towards the very in. Honestly, it kind of freaked me out lol.

With this pregnancy and no anterior placenta this time, I have been feeling him move sooner. On Friday, I was hugging my Mom goodbye and we were belly to belly and she felt him kick, looked at me all wide-eyed and said "I think I just felt the baby kick me!" So we hugged again and she felt him kick again..she was amazed! So I sat down on the couch and she put her ear up to my belly and started talking and it took a minute, but she felt him kick her ear. It was so funny! Didn't feel much with DD because I had an anterior placenta so this was her first time feeling a grandchild kick. It hasn't happened yet for DH..but he doesn't really sit and talk to the belly Embarrassed

I felt outside kicks around 20 weeks with my son but DH wasn't able to feel them until I was 24 weeks. By then I could actually press on my belly and get the baby to move when I wanted him to.

My ute is tilted too and I figured that might change things.

With DD it took DH forever. He wasn't too confident about knowing what was a kick or not. I would swear he should have been able to feel something and he would say he didn't. It was something like 26+w until he felt her.

He just felt this LO a couple nights ago at 19.5w

With DS, I had an anterior placenta so DH felt him once when I was 8 months. I barely felt DS myself, which always had me so nervous. This time, I have a posterior placenta so I have been feeling kicks for a month. I even felt her roll once. I am excited that DH and I will experience lots of movement this time.

I felt movement with my hand last Monday, and DH felt it the day after, so a week ago, around 18w4-5d. I started feeling little flutters/twitches about 16-17w, so it progressed pretty quickly. They're still very small, but definitely there - as a FTM, I didn't expect it so soon!

My uterus is tilted- or at least it was my first pregnancy. (don't know if that changes or not). Anyway- so if it is tilted, I won't be able to feel anything from the outside the whole pregnancy? Just curious. thanks.

Good question. I just assumed that it probably always was and will be tilted, but I don't know. I just know that my OB said it wasn't anything to worry about.

This is my second LO and i started feeling flutters around 15 weeks, kicks around 16.5-17 weeks and my DH felt the first movement from the outside at about 18.5 weeks. Hope this helps!
