When you were able to have someone feel the baby?

I know that i can feel the baby but my husband really really wants to feel him. I am just curious if anyone has yet been able to have someone else the the baby when he moves. I am 18 weeks. Any ideas?

I think most people say the 20+ weeks. I have yet to feel the baby on my own yet so I really have no input, but I hope it's soon for him!

I'm 20w tomorrow and just felt my first kick against my hand tonight.  It might still be a bit before DH can feel him because his kicks tend to be kind of one off right now so when I feel one there's no telling when I'll feel the next one.

I started feeling obvious movements from the inside around 17 1/2 weeks and my husband felt it a few days later when I was 18 weeks, but I think that is a little earlier than usual. I didn't feel any movements prior to this (no flutters, popping, etc), I went from feeling nothing, to full on kicks/jabs.

I am exactly the same way, 17 1/2 weeks, no flutters just full on jabs =)..I had my DH feel it one time he said he thinks he felt it just a little bit..lol..I guess he could feel it better when I am a little bit more closer to 20+ weeks.

I was 21 weeks when FI felt LO move for the first time. I have a super active fetus, though. 

DS was not nearly as active. EXH never felt him move.

my husband felt the baby kick at 19 weeks, and i've been feeling "flutters" since 12.5 weeks. Baby is definitely alot more active now, and i feel kicks every few hours.

My husband was able to feel the baby from the outside pretty early on, I'd say around 16 or 17 weeks. But this baby's kicks have been very strong..even the u/s tech at our A/S commented on it!

I was able to feel LO move from the outside around 20 weeks, then DH didn't feel him until about 22? but my LO is stubborn and always stopped whenever DH would try and feel but he would also push and put more pressure so I think baby knew that way.

I felt the baby this past Saturday with my hand, I was 16w5d & it was like a thump & it did it about 4 times. My husband doesn't believe me but at my appt yesterday my doc said it definitely was the baby. I put my husbands hand on it, but of course it didn't do it again. I've felt flutters here & there since. A few minor thumps but unfortunately I can't keep my hand on it all day long :-)

I would say around 22 weeks my husband felt her move on the outside- if he was quick enough or left his hand or had his hand on my belly for a while when she was most active (for us that was/is 9:30-10:30pm). Now at 26 weeks as she gets bigger, he can feel her more and more! It's really exciting, especially my hubby is a man who doesn't emote much, and hearing him giggle when he feels a nudge is soooo priceless. Smile

H can't feel them yet, but oddly enough he can see them, lol. Maybe his hands are sensitive enough.

My husband felt our baby for the first time just this weekend. We had french toast for breakfast and our son was kicking like crazy!

I've been feeling him for awhile but every time I got my husband to put his hand there he couldn't feel anything (bummer) but now he can and he's pretty excited.

I'm 23 weeks and this is my first.

I felt the baby move at 14w5d and my husband was able to feel it move at 16 weeks. I am thin and dont know if that is why we felt it so soon but i think its sooner than the average.

Just last night, DH was able to feel the baby for the first time. It was exciting.

(Just in case you aren't able to see my ticker, I'm 21 weeks).

18 weeks with LO1, FI had his hand in the right spot to soothe my growing pains. It was a one-time fluke as it was almost 2 months before he felt the baby move again.

LO2 is at 18 weeks now, but FI hasn't had any luck so far.

My husband could feel the baby kick back at the beginning of the 21st week. I think it's easier if I'm laying on my back. You're not really supposed to lay on your back for too long but that's the best way to feel a kick I've found.
