Radhika - You are so right. It is truly a blessing!! The image in the mirror is starting to look a little strange to me but I still very much appreciate it.
My dh has been able to feel the baby move for a few weeks. On Saturday mornings, one of my favorite things is to lie in bed with my belly exposed so we can watch him. It's when he is most active and during the week I am at work around that time.
Some people say the movement eventually gets annoying but I absolutely love it!
My DH could feel the baby move a 2-3 days before when he kept his hand on my belly. Though i feel my baby mostly in the morning when im at work. Last night i did feel that the baby kicked real hard to see the movement from outside my belly. When i asked my hubby to see, he/she stopped kicking..hahaha.Poor guy, hez been trying hard to put his ear on my belly and try to hear something..all he can hear is 'Grrr Grrr''..hahahaha..it makes me laugh aloud :-))
although i make sure he gives my belly baby a good morning and good night kiss..hehe..getting myself pampered indirectly.
I love looking at myself in the mirror..with this protruding baby belly, indeed a blessing.
Thanku God!
LoL the first time I felt the baby move was around 17 and a half weeks, it was fait at first and I thought it was gas... but then when I would have gas it would go away and the baby would continue to move. It was super exciting... I also started to feel the baby on the outside at around 18 and a half weeks. However, like someone mentioned above, the baby doesn't move for DH. And it is sad cuz I really want him to feel it kick. Though i am over weight at as well and DH doesn't know what he's looking for at the moment. *sigh* But soon enought we will be able to feel it more and more.
I was 18 or 19 weeks when I could feel him move but it was pretty faint and I kinda had to push in alittle to feel it. I was 21 weeks when my DH could feel him. I've seen him move for quite a while, I'm not sure when that started though. I don't think DH has seen him move though. I think it is different for every one. I've always measured right on or a little big. But every time my midwife puts the doppler on my belly she always says Wow, you have a mover! Every time. So maybe your baby is just more relaxed or mine is always crazy with excitment :-)
=( hasnt felt Bryce move yet, hes a bit disapointed...every night he puts his head on my belly and repeats 'kick, kick hard' or 'kick mommy' he cannot wait to feel kicks...
LOL thanks Juana! My bmi is like 1 or 2 points over normal into overweight and my dr makes such a big deal about it.
Hey Ladies!
My DH has felt her and SEEN it too! We were laying in bed and I felt her move and I told him to look at my belly and it moved! He couldn't stop smiling!
NICMOM!! OVERWEIGHT WHERE?? I sure can't tell!!!
My husband COULD feel her move, but hasn't yet. I know he could because I can, but we just never seem to be together during one of her "active" periods. But he will feel her moving around soon enough. Before you know it, he will be able to see it from across the room!!!
Normally its like 6-7 months you can feel and see. Only time i see my tummy transform is when the baby positions her self on the left or right side(i be wondering is she doing a back flip or something) but it seems like she be all balled up or something.
I have a tilted uterus and am measuring small for date. My husband feels him move all the time, but I'm telling you the baby NEVER seems to stop moving you can see my stomach move...I think he is going to be large.
Just for the last week. It freaks him out, lol. I'm a little overweight so he can only feel it when she's in some positions, but those kicks are getting stronger every day. He watched my belly get a big cone looking point the other night and it moved all around before going away. I think it was her head or her butt. Something big.
My DH felt it just last week or so, and I'm 25 weeks. I'm also overweight, so I have a little extra cushioning. I was also told back in March that the baby is measuring big. My little one gets stage fright though. I will be feeling him kick like crazy and then DH will put his hand on me, and the baby will stop. It's like he knows we're waiting for it!
Geez...my baby must be itty bit...I really don't have that much insulation around my belly. I have to grab hard to get enough skin to give my self the Lovenox shot (in my belly). Well maybe in a couple of weeks. I also have a tiltled uterus so maybe it's a wee bit back further than normal...who knows. I'm going to find out how big they think this baby is on my next ultrasound.
Yeah he felt him kick for the first time when i was 18 weeks and 3 days now im 21 weeks he sits a watches my belly move with the kicks. Love it!!!
Yep, just in the last couple of weeks. I can tell this past week the kicks are stronger, hubby noticed that too!
Sometimes the baby's position makes it less noticable... The kicks could be going towards the inside... No worries!
By 28 weeks, the babies should weigh around 3 pounds, on average. We/he should be feeling them very good by then!
Saturday night my husband was able to feel her move. I am about 22 weeks. He cant feel all the movements but he can feel them when she kicks really hard. It was awesome. I cant wait until its more prominent.
I hope you can experience it soon :)
I will be 25 weeks on thursday and I'm about 11 days behind...so maybe soon for us. Thanks1
Just last night! He was laughing with joy. (I am 23 weeks and normal measurements.)
