    I felt Shortstack kicking/moving at about 15 weeks.
    I could feel the kicks on the outside at 18 weeks.
    DH felt the odd kick at 20 weeks but not all of them & only if he pressed hard.
    Now just a week and a half later he can feel every kick & movement. It's amazing the difference just one week makes.
    This morning Shortstack was going wild in there but when DH put his hand on me of course bubs stopped!! He also kicks the cats when they sit on my belly but they either don't notice or don't care.
    I've only seen movement once - at 18 weeks he pushed his head or bum right up & I could see a lump on my left hand side!!

    Thanks for all your replies girls. I tried all your suggestions and of course the cheeky little thing stayed completely still. But then this morning, out of nowhere, she finally decided to put on a show for DH. Funny how they seem to have a mind of their own already

    I first felt bubs move for sure when I was 19 weeks. I had been feeling a few things for a couple of weeks before hand, but wasn't sure it was bubs because they definately weren't those fluttery feelings everybody talks about. Anyway, DH first felt bubs kick at 22 weeks. I was suprised he felt it so early, I had been expecting to wait till 25 or 26 week.

    From 22 weeks on the kicks just got stronger and stronger and you began to see my tummy move when bubs was kicking. I think once it starts it's on for young and old.

    I do find however that when I am lying on my back or my side every kick can be felt on the outside. If I'm upright it is only the stronger ones that make an impact!
