I feel the same way lol. Everytime I try to get him to feel our baby move, the baby stops moving! Right after he puts his hand on my stomach! It's kinda frustrating. I'm 19+6 weeks.
After a midwife appointment in which the midwife almost couldn't find a heartbeat at all (it was scary for a bit there) and said I definitely had an anterior placenta and wouldn't be feeling a lot of movement for a while, the duckling wiggled all the way down into the bottom left corner (?) of my uterus and spent a good hour and a half kicking me. I could feel him/her from the outside if I dug my hand into my belly.
My theory on why baby stops moving when daddy puts his hand on my belly is that my husband always has really warm hands, as opposed to my always cold hands.
I started feeling this little twitch on Friday...like that feeling when your eye twitches but it's in my lower belly. Happens a few times in a row, then stops. And so far it's happened every afternoon since. I'm thinking this is baby? Whatever, I'm going to believe it is anyway...

That's what I felt when I was pregnant with DS, like a rapid tapping.

I always wonder if she takes notice to the super warm hands. Probably not, but I feel like it makes a difference too lol

That's how mine started. It felt sort of like a spasm. It got stronger and more intense over the next week and then I started feeling rolls and actual kicks.

I think they can! One of the tips on flipping a breach baby is to put an ice pack on the top of your belly, and baby will turn because they want to keep their head warm.

That's what I've been feeling! Ever since the GD test its been more prominent, esp when I'm sitting or laying down! Loving this so much!!
I can clearly feel baby girl kicking closer to my belly button and not just on my bladder now. Still nothing on the outside, but I'm not expecting to feel that for a few more weeks.
I've gotten to the point where movement/kicks are much more obvious. DH was even able to feel baby moving last night, whereas before it was so sporadic that by the time I told him about it, baby was done kicking. I think part of it is just feeling more confident in knowing that he is wiggling around like crazy in there after seeing him on the ultrasound. But the kicks are definitely getting stronger and I love it!
I have a little wiggle worm in there this morning! For the past few weeks I've been feeling random pokes or taps maybe once a day but this morning, I've been feeling him roll around like crazy for my whole drive to work and he's still bouncing around! I keep cracking up because it's such a strange feeling and I'm so happy/relieved to feel it.

I am also finally feeling them both all the time, with very clear kicks and punches instead of just little flutters or taps. My belly has moved a couple of times from the outside and SO can feel them when they are strong too. I just now have this pretty large amount of pressure on what feels like my cervix, and I know one baby (A) is closer by a lot to it so I'm trying not think anything about it. Sigh.
I haven't felt anything yet. I'm a FTM and only 19 weeks so i'm not worried about it, but my SO is freaking out and I'm like calm down this is common lol.

21+1 and still not feeling anything, although the midwife said with anterior placed placenta it's totally normal. I've also got the extra stomach padding so I'm thinking it may be awhile.
Small person likes to wiggle into the lower left in the evenings after I put his/her brother to bed. A couple of times, I've been able to feel a flattish, hardish bulge that I think is the back. Eeee!
I have been feeling flutters on the inside for a few weeks now (I'm 21 weeks, 5 days) but just felt two distinct kicks on the outside on Sunday night. Coolest feeling ever!
Still almost nothing over here at 21+2. I've felt flutters and what I thought was him rolling, but nothing distinct. It's so frustrating cause he's such a little acrobat during my ultrasounds.
I posted in the PGAL thread but I'm posting over here because it's disturbing to see so many "feelings" posts when you're not feeling anything! I felt flutters pretty clearly off and on for about a week, but then nothing the two days before my anatomy scan. I was freaking out - but the scan showed everything just fine. I still have barely felt anything since then. The most is when I am doing my back exercises and laying flat on the floor and pull the small of my back tight against the floor. They did not say anterior placenta, so I don't know if that's the case or not, but I'm guessing it's just the position of the baby plus all my abdominal cushioning.
So, if anyone else here is like me, wondering what is wrong when all these other people are feeling movement at 16 weeks, my doctor said 20 weeks was early to feel movement and give it another month or so. Just another everyone-is-different situation, although I hate being left out!
@RainMira9eI didn't feel anything until almost 20 weeks - like not so much as a flutter! Then at like 19+3 I felt little twitches and swishies and it's growing more consistent each day... But, no anterior placenta here! They all keep telling me that first time moms feel it later, and (because I googled the heck out of it when I hadn't been feeling anything) I've read several cases where women didn't feel anything until as late as 24/25 weeks! Also, both my regular pre-natal and MFM doctors said after 20/21 weeks is totally normal - they were actually surprised, being a FTM, that I'd felt something as early as 19+3. I wanted to be like, well, all these ladies on The Bump are feeling things at like 13 weeks - why am I so far behind?!
I am convinced some people are imagining it and most are just more confident than I am. Maybe someone thinks they feel something and says "oh that was baby, yay, baby is moving a lot," whereas I feel something and wait for something more or more distinct and if I don't feel it say, "maybe baby but I was probably hallucinating."
