Has partner felt the baby kick yet

I am 22 weeks pregnant and baby has still not started kicking hard enough for Hubby to feel her. I was wondering if anybody's partners have felt the baby kick yet.

Im sure it is due to my extra padding, but i cant wait for hubby to be able to feel her kick.

FINALLY - hubby and my son got to feel baby kick - so amazing.

My son was so chuffed, he said that she kicked him because she loved him.... he is so excited to meet her now.

MY DH felt it for the first time a few weeks ago, around 21 weeks.  My other children can now feel it too!

My DH has not felt him kick yet, but has felt the movement. I've seen my stomach move but only once. Just found out he is 1.2lbs and still head down. I'm not sure if that has something to do with the random kicks. But I enjoy it everytime I feel something! :-)  I can't wait until I can tell his sleep schedule in there.

So my DH has not felt the baby kick but that did not stop him from kicking the monitor when the doctor was trying to listen to him.

At our last appointment 2 weeks ago, it was nearly in the middle of my tummy, so that explained the sudden slowdown of kicks, but this weekend she has been going crazy...and my tummy has been jumping around like crazy... so hopfully my hubby will get a chance soon to catch her.

Every time i ask my son to quickly put his hand on my tummy, she stops, then tell him she is playing tricks on us, so all is says is "Ag mommy, she is just learning how to play" Such an adult way of thinking for a soon to be 5 year old.

Don't worry hun, I am sure you will feel baby in the next week or two. Do you know where your placenta is positioned?

DH felt baby girl for the first time last night!  He was super excited. :-)  I don't remember how long it took for him to feel my son, but I think it was later than this.

DH has felt baby kicking but with both my pregnancies he was able to feel it fairly early 18-19 weeks I blame it on me producing big babies :-)

My daughter felt the baby kick, but no one else. But then she has been praying for a little brother for about five years. So I consider this her baby. He even kicks in the same places she did and lays the way she did inside. Soon enough the will all be kicking everyone and you will be able to see them when they move.

My baby has kicked hard enough for him to SEE, but every time he puts his hand on my belly, she gets shy and stops kicking...he's given up trying for now...lol...give it a couple weeks and your husband will be able to feel your baby, too...when she's too big in there to run away from his hand!  Haha
