Re: Has your hubby felt the baby yet?

  • My placenta is in the back of my baby so he is pushed forward more so then others and I feel him constantly! My SO has been able to feel only once after a bowl of Christmas ice cream:) it was so cool to see his face!
  • Loading the player...
  • Yes. I started feeling him at 17.5 weeks and DH has been able to feel him since 19. Baby is very active around bedtime so hubs just keeps his hand on my belly while we lay in bed before sleeping.
  • This happens every time to us too, I feel baby boy all the time but nothing as soon as my husband tries to feel my belly! Hopefully soon!
  • Yes. FTM I started feeling at 17w and DH started feeling at 18w. He will sit with his hand on my belly while we are watching TV or before bed.

  • Yup, he has been able to feel baby for about a week and a half by now. This is my second though, I don't think he felt baby until about 22 weeks last time around.

  • I'm 21 weeks and DH hasn't felt the baby yet. But I have never actually felt the baby from the outside yet either. Hopefully soon :)
  • Actually the first time my bf felt it I was asleep (apparently he rubs my belly while I sleep) and he told me the next morning. I had no idea he would even be able to feel anything at the point when he did. I am able to see my baby's movement from the outside now. It's so cool and strange at the same time. It makes it seem more real and also makes it easier for me to talk to baby.
  • For about 2 weeks now. I'm 22w tomorrow.
  • yes but only when hes laying on my tummy and humming she will push out against him

  • Yes. Finally! This Sunday while at church during the sermon. I whispered for him to give me his hand. I have an anterior placenta so I had him "dig" in a little. Then WHAM! A huge rolling kick. He jumped and then beamed with joy. I cried. It was magical. We are 22 wks.
  • Yeah, he started feeling the baby at 18w5d. Good, strong kicks too.

  • No!  I swear there is some Michigan J. Frog shit going on with this baby.  Every time I feel like she is kicking up a storm I call him over.  Then....nothin'.

  • Nope. Baby doesn't like to kick for him. But DD has felt it a few times and so has my friend/SIL
  • Nope! I've only felt outside kicks once myself. I have anterior placenta (AGAIN!). I don't think he felt DD until ~24 weeks. Maybe even later.

  • He felt it for the first time at 21 weeks but it hasn't been strong since then so I think it was just perfect timing.
  • Mine JUST felt his first baby kick!!! He grinned like a little boy and starting jiggling my tummy hoping for more but our lil man wouldn't give it up! It's also our first so it's pretty cool >:D<
  • I've been feeling LO since 19 weeks and DH has felt her kick a few times now but it's still rare for him to feel anything and its only when im laying on my back. I'm 23 weeks now. FTP. But the look on his face was priceless the first time he felt her. I'll never forget it.
  • I started feeling baby at 18 weeks and hubby was able to feel her within days as well. She does calm down when he puts his hand on my belly, which has ended a few uncomfortable ongoing kick fests.
  • Nope- neither my husband or I can feel LO from the outside yet.

  • He finally felt him last week. Just turnex 23 weeks today.
  • My little guy is a big mover (actually woke me up with a kick this morning) and hubs has felt/seen him a couple of times. Last night he was laying his head on my belly and talking to the baby. Right when he said "Aiden, daddy loves you", baby kicked him right in the nose!
  • Nope. I feel her rolling around in there pretty frequently but every time he comes over to put his hand on to feel it she instantly stops! He just laughs and says "Daddy's little girl my ass" ;-)

  • DH has felt LO a couple times, but I feel him all the time now. DH usually has the problem where I say, "Now! Put your hand down now!" and then baby gets shy and stops moving, haha. He always seems to miss it but he has been able to feel him twice (maybe three time? Can't remember.)

  • My husband felt baby Finnegan for the first time three days. He thought it was an amazing experience, and said how cool it must be for us mommies feeling more frequently. Now my husband tries to feel Finn every night before bed. It's very cute!
  • Yep.  Heck, baby's kicking so hard now we can see it, even.  I swear he kicked my side out a good inch last night and we both started laughing.

  • Oh yeah!  I felt a kick for the first time at 19w and thought I might have been imagining it.  I took DH's hand and he felt it, too!  We've both felt him every day since.  Now that he's continuing to grow, we feel him more and more every day.  Every night after shutting off our light, we just lay in bed with our hands on my belly.  Little Man has yet to disappoint since that first night.

    SILs were able to feel on Thanksgiving, but LO doesn't want to give it up for his grandmas.  :)

  • I turned 21 weeks yesterday and last night was the first time he has been able to feel the baby. I usually place my hand on my belly first just to see if I can feel it from the outside and if I do, I yank his arm over so he can feel it. His reaction was "Ewwww! I felt that!" Lol! He's a nut.

  • Yes, but just once. He got a jab on the face when his ear was on my belly "listening for her".
  • #3 here. DH felt her kick around 19 weeks. We have seen kicks the last few days here, DH finally saw it for the first time last night and was pretty impressed.

  • Once this week at 20 week husband felt kick.
  • DH hasn't been able to feel our LO yet. He stops kicking as soon as DH is around.  Of course DH has the attention span of a fruit fly so he doesn't stay long enough for the next round of kick boxing to start.

  • Not yet. He says he may have felt something brush against his hand but no definite kicks yet. I felt a surprisingly strong kick today so hopefully DH will feel one soon :). I'm 22w
  • Yes, but only consistently moving here lately (22.5w).
  • I've been feeling him since about 17 weeks and DH since about 18 weeks pretty often! The other day he was laying his head on my belly while watching tv and LO kicked his head... Too funny :)
    BabyFetus Ticker
  • Yes! I have a posterior placenta this time so he felt baby for the first time a few weeks ago and can feel some great kicks now :-)

  • Yes, DH has felt baby kick three times, for the first time a little before 21 weeks.  I will have him put his hand on my belly when I feel a lot of kicks, but often the baby stops :(

  • I'm 23 weeks as well and have been feeling our little girl since about 15 weeks and I can feel her go crazy but my hubby tries so hard. He is very jealous and everyday he tells me that it's not fair lol I keep telling him soon enough though you will feel her and see her

  • He has felt her move a couple of times but usually she freezes once he has his hand on my belly. I grab his hand if he is nearby and say "now!" and then boom -- she stops. Maybe my reaction is causing her to freeze lol

  • 2 days ago 20 weeks exactly! He felt ONE kick, she kicked just hard enough for him to feel :) but that was literally the hardest she ever kicked.
  • Mine has. I've been feeling movement since 15ish weeks, nothing regular/good kicks until 18 weeks. DH was able to feel around 18 weeks too
