slabancz · July 2015

Im thrilled my DH got to feel the baby move anyone else have this happen yet?

crisobrewha · July 2015

Nope, not yet. My DH was all excited because he felt some twitching as he cuddled me in the middle of the night, only to discover that it was my whole body twitching in a dream. He was so disappointed and is super excited to feel baby. Can't wait!

kleshelle · July 2015

Yes! It's very amazing to see your SO get so excited and thrilled to feel the first kick or tap. He felt her for the first time at 16 weeks actually. :x

kdoak2015 · July 2015

Really??
15 weeks seems pretty early, your baby was 2.5 ounces at 15 weeks and just barely out of our pelvic bone.

I know everyone is different but I'm 19w and still barely feeling movements.

We've been able to feel LO outside for a little under a week now. Only ever when I've been laying in one spot for longer than ten minutes though. LO is currently kicking away right behind my belly button now, which I can feel if I push my hand down hard enough.

I like science.

I'm 18 weeks and still haven't felt anything.

Yea, our doctor told me not to expect really feeling it until 18-20 weeks and DH will have to wait even longer.

I was about to say the same thing.. I looked everywhere online for something to say it is possible to feel the baby from the outside at 15w and everything says there is no way. Odds are you bf felt some gas because baby isn't strong enough to move that many thick protective layers of stuff.

kdoak2015 · July 2015

My thoughts exactly ladies, but what do we know, we are not docs so maybe it's possible?
I can totally feel my heart beat through my belly(several difference spots) maybe if I drink enough caffeine it'll be 100 beats per min and I'll ask DH to feel and tell him it's the baby?? That might work right?

For the op, yes, 18 weeks and he is feeling little thumps. It's so great!!

slabancz · July 2015

I've been having the butterflies for a couple weeks now and probably the last 2 to 1.5 weeks those turned into kicks. Last night was the first I got to feel it with my hand and today I just felt the baby kicking frequently and he was able to. It's still very faint so you do need some pressure but it's there! I'm 19wks 2days btw.

I've just started to feel flutters I'm 16.5 weeks

Fdpolla92 · July 2015

I'm almost 19 weeks and still don't feel anything. I though I did. Then decided I didn't because I haven't since then.

flyingmombula · July 2015

I have felt sporadic spasms that feel different from gas... like a muscle twitch. Pretty sure it's babe. Definitely in the right area (around where I can find the HB with doppler). I'm 18+5... I don't think it feels like a kick yet, bf hasn't tried yet!

satindawl83 · July 2015

20 weeks and definitely feeling thumps on the outside every now and then.

Elizabella85 · July 2015

I'm 19 weeks (FTM) and barely feel baby...DH keeps expecting my bump to move. Oh babe, that won't happen for a while, no matter how hard you want to feel baby kick. Poor DH.

minceys4 · July 2015

I'm 18w1d with my third... I can definitely feel my lo but not on the outside.

apea86 · July 2015

My husband thought he felt the baby move this past week and was really excited! I didn't have the heart to tell him he was feeling too high and that there was no way he was feeling baby.

I'm 18 weeks tomorrow.

mashlew · July 2015

I've been feeling my baby move since 15 weeks but at 18 weeks and 5 days which I am now I'm feeling way harder kicks , baby rolling , and where baby is positioned .

Stephanieshort2 · July 2015

I've been able to feel baby move since about 16 weeks and DH felt baby at 19 weeks. I'm almost 21 weeks now and baby is moving like crazy. If I lay my phone on my stomach, you can see it shake when he moves. It's the craziest thing! But like previous posters said, all pregnancies are different.

Sunny2015 · July 2015

My husband thought he felt the little one moving around when I was around 15 weeks too, I was really embarrassed when I told him it was gas

AlejandraN2 · July 2015

My husband just had his hand on my belly and he was like oh I feel something. I had to tell him it was just indigestion.

I'm over 20 weeks though and been feeling her from the outside for about a week now(2nd baby). Hubby got to feel one tiny kick a few days ago but I woke him up for it and don't think he remembers.

redfallon · July 2015

Haven't felt anything yet (or at least nothing major or regular) this time around, but with DD, the first time that I had DH try to feel her or listen to her, he put his head down on my belly and she kicked him right in the head

kaitinperth · July 2015

I'm 17weeks and can feel baby every now & then - maybe once or twice a day. Husband hasn't tried to feel anything on the outside yet because it's so sporadic, I'd never guess when to tell him when to put his hand there.

koala1107 · July 2015

I've been feeling flutters since around 14.5 weeks and have been able to feel a few taps from the outside (so has DH) this week (17+ weeks). I know it's unusual but it's one of the very few perks of having a septate uterus and the baby only having half the room to move. I don't think under normal circumstances I'd be feeling as much as I am but I'm certainly enjoying it. (And doctor has confirmed its definitely baby, so science agrees with this one :P )

amm0512 · July 2015

DH just felt DD for the first time yesterday at 20 weeks. I've been feeling the baby since 14 weeks, but this last week she has been getting stronger and you can finally see her little kicks and punches move my stomach. I have an anterior placenta, so i was thinking it would be a lot later than i did with DS, but it's right around the same time DH felt him for the first time too.

arugle · July 2015

Im 19 weeks today and I felt my first real kick yesterday

it actually kinda hurt but made me smile! Iv felt little flutters since about 12 weeks and the flutters got stronger and more recognizable at 15 weeks. My baby girl flipped for the first time two days ago after I sat up XD She moves alot when im laying on my left side.

holly1811 · July 2015

Just today i felt a kick from the outside im 20 weeks today. Guess baby kicked the right spot at the right time.. aw its so cute

nannananna · July 2015

I'm week 19 now and feel kicks and movements every day now, growing stronger all the time and have been noticing them since week 17. My midwife says that's not unusual and that it indicates that my placenta is placed in the back of my uterus. So I don't really think you can determine that women aren't feeling kicks at weeks 15 because of "science", just because you didn't feel any at the time. We're not all the same and you might have the placenta placed differently. When you feel the kicks you're not in doubt, unless you've had gas "kicking" your belly skin and muscles

tewinkle27 · July 2015

My SO just felt him for the first time yesterday! It was the softest kick ever. I'm 20w today

Taylovesbrad · July 2015

Haven't felt anything at almost 21 weeks. But ultra sound show babe is super active and my placenta is not anterior

Praying41 · July 2015

I started feeling very light occasional flutters only when I laid down and not every day around 16 weeks. Around 17.5-18 weeks DH laid his hand on my tummy and we both felt a distinct but very light tap. It really felt like baby but he hasn't been able to feel anything since so who knows what that was. I'll just pretend it was baby

lol
I'm 19 weeks now and feeling the light thumps and rolling throughout the day when sitting or laying that are much stronger than before. Can't wait to feel it from the outside and for DH to feel a real kick.

taysun · July 2015

This handy guide will give you a better idea on of you or your SO has actually felt baby based on how far along you are.

Ken122014 · July 2015

I'm 19w3d and I'm pretty sure I felt baby kick from the outside for the first time last night. I felt it a couple times in a row and once or twice in response to me poking my stomach

I called hubby in and she stopped, haha, I only felt really faint ones after that. I think he might be able to feel her soon. Hubby did see her punch me yesterday in the ultrasound

I don't think I felt anything at 15w... I'd say I felt my first little flutters between 16w-17w, but was never sure if it was baby or gas, and really, am stil not positive!

I don't think anyone doubted she felt them. Just that it's highly unlikely they can be felt from the outside.
