Hi all! I am 19 weeks and have felt baby 'lucky' moving for almost a couple of weeks! My partner still can't feel anything and I was just wondering how long it takes? It's my first baby so I'm all excited but also slightly clueless! Thanks X
Everyone is different... For me it was around 24-26ish weeks with my daughter. I remember when I first started feeling outside kicks it was easier for him to feel them if I laid on my side.

I started feeling movement at 15 weeks and my husband felt her at 18 while I was laying on my back. I'm carrying very low if that makes a difference, but my first pregnancy I didn't start feeling movement till 18 weeks and was about 25 when he felt her. It's hard to say when your parter may feel your baby.
Just last week (25wks) for my husband. She always stopped when I tried to put his hand there. I tried once I could visibly see her kicking, not just feeling it myself. Zach tried saying our girl liked him so much,she would never kick him. When she finally did, he said she was "in time out." He makes me laugh.
Re: When will my partner feel baby move?
We're having our first baby too. I think I felt an outside kick, but every time hubby tries to feel, baby stops moving, lol.
