    When did you first feel bubs on the outside?

    I am 20 weeks now, and have forgotten when you or your partner can feel bub from the outside? I am looking forward to my partner feeling bub like I can.....I can't remember when I first felt it on the outside tho

    I can't really remember, but I don't think it's for a few more weeks.
    I'm 25 weeks currently and not sure if I can really feel bubs on the outside yet, or whether it's wishful thinking...

    I am a bit overweight, and felt mine on the outside at about 22 weeks, and to begin with I wasn't sure whether it was it or not! It is pretty full on now, big rolls and kicks

    ETA: I have an anterior placenta.

    I felt bub for the first time at exactly 18 weeks, DH felt bub on outside at 20 weeks. My placenta is right at the back though.

    I was 27 weeks with DD and was a bit later with DS but my placenta was out the front.

    I felt bub at 19+3, and DP felt his first kick at 20 weeks exactly, despite my anterior placenta.

    Do you know if your placenta if posterior or anterior, as I think it's a few weeks later when the placenta is anterior.
    I felt DS1 around 18-20 weeks, Ds2 was earlier and DD this year was after 20 weeks due to the position of the placenta.

    I have no idea where the placenta is, but apparently its normal....I have been feeling bub move for over a month now, but not so much on the outside...but I think its getting stronger, slowly....lol

    Mine is anterior and I felt bub moving definitely at 19 weeks and from the outside at 20 weeks 5 days. DH still days he can't feel it. He is not very patient though lol

    So DP felt bub move the other night, just before 21 weeks. Yay! But nothing else yet, but won't be long until he feels more I am sure
