Feeling Baby On The Outside

When could your partner feel the baby move??

I had a little stomach pudge and weighed 150lbs pre pregnancy, I'm now 163lbs and 22 weeks tomorrow. I can feel him move quite a bit but my husband can't feel anything when he touches my stomach yet and he's a bit sad about it.

I felt baby on the outside at 18 weeks my fiance could feel her at around 20 weeks but people tell me that's pretty early. At 22 weeks I was able to get a video of her kicking. I think it helps if you are thinner I was only 130-135 pre pregnancy.

My boyfriend first felt our baby around 23w :) maybe just before. It was so amazing. He was completely overjoyed and I was almost crying. Now he feels her all the time. Especially when I'm sleeping, she moves like mad

Aww thank you ladies! So happy for you all :) It makes me hate my large frame a bit, im 5'8 with 42in hips and pre pregnancy I was a size 10 and small/medium on top. I am dying to feel him on the outside and do is my husband, I hope it happens soon. Ultrasound tomorrow so at least I get to see him move like crazy again.

I started feeling my second baby at 10 weeks (flutters) and then my hubby could feel from the outside at 16 weeks. I'm pretty thin though. So that def makes a difference.

Thank you all! I love hearing people's experiences so I can kind of compare. Itd be amazing if everyone was the same but I do the differences!  Ive felt him for weeks now and get so excited, my husband always has his hand on my stomach and talks to him every day but I cant wait for the moment he can feel him kick. Should be any day now hopefully!

Hope you're all doing great!

I'm only 120 lbs. (not sure if that matters) but I'm very petite, all belly, and my fiancé felt our baby boy move/kick at 19w1d if I'm not mistaken.. I started feeling flutters around 14'ish weeks.. I felt DEFINITE movement at 17w6d (the exact day we found out he was a boy!), and we saw my belly move (pop out) at 18w2d..

every body & baby is different, it all depends on where the baby is, how he or she is facing, where your placenta is, etc.
