When did your partner/other people feel your baby move?

[penknee]

Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering when your partner/hubby or other people feel your baby move? I have been feeling the baby move for about 6 weeks now (almost 22 weeks) but my husband is desparate to feel her kick and hasn't been able to feel anything yet. I feel really bad for him as sometimes it seems like we get all the attention when pregnant and our poor partners aren't part of the experience aswell...

I'm at 25 weeks now and have been feeling bubs regularly for about 10 weeks. DH felt her move about 2 weeks ago and DD and family and friends have been able to feel bubs this week. But with DD in my first pregnancy DH didn't feel her until I was past 7 months :-(

I was about 24 weeks when DH felt DD move. I was about 22 weeks when I first felt her.

i was surprisingly early in feeling Gremlin move (9.5 weeks - lived in denial that it was her for about 4 weeks but it kept up!) - DH was able to feel her at 16.5weeks. i have a posterior placenta so nothing there to "cushion" the kicks. she now actively chases my hand, hides from hubby's - and thrives on kicking daddy in the head while he listens to her wriggling around in my tummy...

my niece (4) felt her when i was about 24 weeks, my mum at about 25 weeks, and my other niece (8) at about 26 weeks. my SIL has seen her kick a few times, and their cat has copped a kick or five to the head (he just won't learn!)

i did a course on Black Saturday (calmbirth) and the woman taking the course was saying how a friend of hers was very excited as he'd finally felt bubba move at 34 weeks! it is so very variable. the anterior placenta is a bit thing to preventing feeling it from the outside. i think we, as the mum, are more likely to feel it earlier cos we can feel from the inside and outside and KNOW that what we felt on our hand was indeed the same as what we felt inside kwim?? i also thought a smaller person would feel external movement earlier than a larger lady - but as a larger lady, i've debunked my own theory on that one...

i first felt DD about 14 weeks and it was about 18-20 weeks when Dp felt her.

I'm just about 22 weeks, and i've been feeling bub move from around 14 weeks (strange because it's my first, thats early, and i'm a bigger girl to begin with, but oh well). Dp hasn't felt Peanut move yet because everytime he's moving, if you put a hand anywhere on my tummy, he goes still. Like performance anxiety or something. Lol.
But last night, after a week or two of me seeing it, Dp finally looked at the right time to see my tummy moving and flinching from bubby moving around and kicking. YAY!! finally. haha
He had this huge grin on his face, hehe.
And i've noticed when ever Dp laughs bub starts to move around and kick. So we were sitting on the couch telling jokes getting Dp to laugh so bub would move. Haha
Special family night for me
