    Good luck and reassure DH that he will feel bubs soon. And then you can spoon him at night and let bubs kick the cr@p outta him
    HAHA!

    Or if he spoons you and leaves his hands on your tum for long enough he will feel something! Thats' what we do

    My DH rushes over to have a feel and as soon as he puts his hands on my tummy eveything stops!!I cant wait till he can feel it too! Neither can he!
    I hope it happens for both our DH's soon!!

    Awww hun, actually both my bubbas were daddy shy in the begining It's hard because you are sooo excited and he (the daddy) feels so left out and we all know what big babies they truley are

    I found the best way to let DH feels EXACTLY what I am feeling is to spoon him. When you get into bed, let him lay on his side and spoon his back as snuggly as you possibly can. (Your bump will fit nicely into the small of his back) I found that dd (and now ds) usually kicked a while just after I got into bed. This way he will feel bubba kicking his back, and if he has a sensitive back (like my DH) he will feel it better than with his hands.

    Oh and don't tell him each time bubba moves, wait for him to ask if that was the bubba moving. He might get aggitated when you tell him each time and he is not feeling anything. If he still don't feel bubba, just say that bubba was quiet. In this department .. I feel a little white lie do no harm

    Hope he feel little kicks soon!!

    I can totally agree with everyone else the dad of my first was not around but Josh was like that with his nannie (my Mum) everytime a dozen he be going nuts mum put hand on tummy and he stop it became a joke with us i dont think she felt him until about 36wks
    I can feel Bronson moving around a bit more now and a couple time Bryce has put a hand on tummy i can feel him but he cant yet hoping it will come in next few weeks i think make it more real for them when they can start feeling and seeing baby moving. I know it made it more real for me when started feeling him move,oh and the belly popping helped to

    Girls last night while lying in bed having a chat bump started kicking and I rested my hand on my tummy and I could feel him from the outside, so I said to DH to put his hand on my tummy and he got 2 kicks. I was so happy for him. I can't believe we then lay there chatting till after midnight.
