Baby Kicking - able to feel from the outside?

[Janine1511]

Mine could be felt from the outside at about 22 weeks, but my DF was way too gentle when he rested his hand on my belly and couldn't feel it (I think he was worried he'd break it, lol). I ended up putting my hand over his and applying a bit of pressure so that he could feel the kicks.

I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and I can definitely feel my bub from the outside. My DH has been able to feel it for about 3-4 weeks now but there are still plenty of times that he misses the movements. In a few weeks time I am sure there will be no issues in being able to feel your bub moving from the outside.

yeah DP hasnt been able to feel bubs movements as of yet, but its so cute, when he rubs my tummy and kisses it and asks how his bub is.... naww

I was 25w, 2d when DP first felt bub kick from the outside. I have a anterior (at the front) placenta so we knew it could be longer before it would be felt from the outside.

I hold DPs hand on my bump when we are laying in bed so I can move it if bubs moves or move it to where the kicks are getting stronger etc.
