When could DH feel the baby kicking?

I have been feeling the baby moving/kicking for about 2 weeks. Everytime DH tries to feel him he can't. Movement is not constant yet. When was your DH able to feel something? I am 22 weeks tomorrow.

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

Lets see, I am 25 weeks today and DH BARELY felt her move for the first time about 3 weeks ago. He did have to push down a litte bit to feel her. I am just now starting to SEE movement if I really concentrate.

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

I started to feel the baby around 16 weeks. DH wasn't able to feel anything to I think around 20weeks? I am now 26 weeks and he has only felt the baby 3 times.

Everytime he puts his hand on my belly stops kicking!

I am 22w and DH has only felt the baby maybe 2X, starting about a week ago

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

If I remember correctly it was between 24-25 weeks.

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

I’m 23weeks. Hubby really felt her beat out her tango about a week or so ago. But now that she’s decided to move and kicks closer to my pelvic area, he can’t feel her.

When she was kicking up top (like right under my sternum) and punching my lower abs (right below my belly button) you could see the lower punches and feel the kicks. She was having a field day one night and being really, really active so I grabbed my hubby’s hand and said “She won’t stop, maybe you can calm her”. That was his very first experience. He got a good 5 full minutes of kicks and activity.

I don’t think he thought he could feel her so early. He just thought it was cool and she was cool (haha).

Now, nothing. *shrug* Maybe she’s move again. I can feel her but he can’t.

22 weeks!

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

Mine's been feeling him for about a week, so starting around week 23?? but DH is weird and won't "press" on my belly to get 's attention.
I poke my tummy and say "HEY BABY" and DH just about faints.

Plus my placenta is 'anterior' so that's an extra layer is kicking against, so it's a bit difficult for DH to really feel it.

I actually can't wait until he gets bigger and we can see his little limbs poking around, DH is sure to end up in the ER at the sight of that...

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

My is a crazy one and has been extremely active all along. I felt her at 15 weeks, stronger and more regularly at 18 weeks. My DH could feel her daily starting at 20 weeks. But my Dr has said that she is more active than most babies based on ultrasounds and the doppler readings. Even now at over 38 weeks she is crazy and active and moving my belly every which way.

Re: When could DH feel the baby kicking?

i started feeling the baby at about 16 weeks, and DH felt him for the first time around 19 weeks... he only felt him once or twice, and very faintly, so he wasn't really sure of what he was feeling (like if it was me moving or the baby).

i was exactly 23 weeks yesterday and was seriously going to town... DH put his hand on my stomach and felt several really hard kicks - so hard he actually said, "oh my god!"

it was amazing but it took a while - about 7 weeks after i felt move for the first time!
