Flutters to Kicks

Hey y'all this is my very first post as a first time mom. I'm 18 w+3 and I already have felt my baby girl quicken quite alot. She seems to move more in the evenings and sometimes she's having a parade in there! I track her movements in 1min she moved about 10 times. My question though is when will my husband and I start feeling firm "kicks" rather than the bubbles? I'm so anxious to feel our little princess kick!!!

If u lay in the floor on Ur back he may can put his head on your stomach and feel her my husband did at sixteen weeks. Keep in mind my baby was nine pounds at birth so she was a little big.

I was around 15 weeks when istarted feeling the flutters and by 20 weeks my bf could feel them and by 24 weeks you could watch my belly dance as our boy moved. I am also a ftm and have about 8 weeks left. I think everyone and every baby is different.

My partner felt our lil girl move first. I am a ftm too & he has children already so he knew what to feel for. I didn't start feeling harder kicks/punches until about week 20-22. Now I'm 26 weeks & you can see my belly move when she kicks.
