Baby moving for partner

I was curious if there's anyone else whose partner hasn't felt the baby move yet from the outside? We try all the time and I can feel him kick or squirm but my boyfriend says he doesn't feel anything. I'm 26 weeks.

I have the same problem, except for.our mothers. She will move around constantly until someone tries to feel her then she just clams up.

Good news! He finally felt our little boy move :) he gave him one strong kick to the palm lol. I'm so glad he's gotten to feel him now, makes me feel more connected to him and the baby.

My husband will lay his head on my belly n then put his hands on the sides so he can feel if he kicks wherever it is

Yes! I have the same issue with baby kicking a ton then as soon as my bf touches my belly he stops, or punches a different side of my belly. Almost like he's purposely avoiding his daddy's touch. It's been very frustrating!

I'm 28+4 and my husband still hasn't felt our little guy move. The kids and the dog have. He's stubborn and stops moving when my husband trys to feel

I am 27+5 and my husband feels her a lot. Try putting something cold on your tummy, this will often make them move.

Baby kicks Hubbys back when my belly touches his back, thats the only way hubby gets the full effect of it when the kicking starts at 6 in the morning, lol. He lives it, makes him feel part of the experience.

My baby girl kicks pretty hard and moves so much so hubby is now able to feel her. I will be 26wks tomorrow. But it's crazy bc I have to sneak his hand on my belly. She will be moving really hard, and as soon as I tell him to feel she stops. Or I will be talking to her watching her move and then he starts talking and she stops. She is something else! But he does feel her when I day nothing and just put his hand there. Give it some time, hopefully he will feel soon!
