When did you feel kicks outside?

Mrs.S9102005 · January 2009

So I'm about 23.5 weeks, on and off I've felt what I believe is the baby moving, feels like gas bubbles, but it's not, I have felt more kicking then anything.

My stomach has been bothering me today (sorry for TMI, but a lot of gas and bloat) I felt something really weird shortly after lunch. While sitting, I just felt my stomach extend in one small spot and then go back in, but I felt it from the outside. It's so hard to describe, dont' think I ever felt anything like that before. It happened too quick for me to even put my hand down to feel it.

When do you normally feel the baby on the outside? I was overweight before getting pregnant, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

I felt them inside about 19-20 weeks, but it was about 22 weeks before I could feel them outside, and even then, it was luck if I could "catch" them. By 24, I was feeling them regularly from the outside with my hand, and another few weeks before DH could (baby stopped kicking the instant he put his hand near my belly

I saw the movement at about 23 weeks. DH felt it around the same time.

Next time, put a small piece of paper on your belly. Doing that made it easier for me to see.

I felt it outside around 23-24 weeks. I was overweight before I got pregnant too, but it's still different for everyone.

I was 21 weeks when DH first felt them from the outside.

Around 22-23 wks I could feel the baby on the outside every once in a while. At 24 wks, DH and my sister felt him, and now I can feel him often but it's still hard to get DH in time to feel the good kicks before he stops. Sometimes it doesn't feel like kicks, but more like him pushing or trying to turn around.

Movement has gotten a lot stronger since 24 wks though.?

I could feel him at 18 weeks, DH at 20.

16 wks. DH felt it too. I felt this baby early though.

DH and I both felt it from the outside at 17w2d. I couldn't believe it happened so early, but these babies are kicking up a major storm. We've both felt them a few times since.

I felt inside movement at 15 weeks, outside movement at 18 weeks. FI even felt it last week!

krissyface · January 2009

Right around 20 weeks I started to see lots of movement on the outside (especially when taking a warm bath). If it hasn't happened yet, you'll get to that soon.

I felt movement right around week 15 and both me and DH felt the baby on the outside Friday at 17 weeks and 2 days! I'm still waiting for it to happen again.
