Feeling the baby?

Question

I'm 5'5'' 287lbs, large apron, carrying baby girl really low in my apron at 20 weeks along! I can feel flutters, but my husband has been asking to feel the baby & honestly, he just can't, it's just not there yet, how many weeks before he can feel the kicks?

Answer

I weigh 375lbs and this is my second. I started feeling the flutters at 15 weeks and kicks around 20. At 24 weeks my husband could feel the kicks from the outside and now at 26 I can watch my belly jump. My lil boy is even still pretty low but depending on how he is laying i can see or feel it more. With my first it was almost 28-30 weeks before my husband could feel the baby....and I had lost 11lbs in the pregnancy by that point. Everyone is different but it will come!

Answer

I'm 5'5 and 240 pounds, my boyfriend felt the baby kick when I was 23 weeks and now I'm 27 weeks and you can feel it even more.

Answer

My husband couldn't feel my baby move till I was maybe 24-25 weeks and I think he was being kind even then. He has had 3 other children previously and told me that I shouldn't worry so much about it - it just takes time. My non-plus sized friends said it took them till about 20-21 weeks. I didn't feel like I was that far off then.

Answer

5'4" 276.2 lbs, hubby has felt baby since 19 weeks, I felt her since 17 weeks, now it's kicks all day every day.

Answer

I'm 5'2" and 230lbs at 22 weeks... My hubby has only felt the baby once... Mostly I think he's not patient enough... Only leaves his hand still for like 30 seconds! Lol I also have an anterior placenta, so that is cushioning a lot of the movement... Unless baby is kicking my bladder, no cushion there! Lol

Answer

I'm 5ft2 and I'm 200lbs. Been feeling kicks since 18 weeks. I'm 24 weeks and my partner still can't feel any movement from the outside. I'm being patient but I think it's because he doesn't know what to feel for. I've felt movement from the outside a couple of times x

Answer

I'm 5' 3" and 215 lbs and 26 weeks along and my hubby still has trouble feeling her kick sometimes. She is getting stronger though so I think when I'm around 28 weeks he will feel her better.

Answer

I'd say another 2-3 weeks if it's your first baby. After 21 weeks they just get stronger and stronger. It will happen don't worry

Answer

Its really hard to say.. I felt my baby move and 6-7 weeks later he felt him move too but it all depends on timing and position of your little ones kicks.. He can kick hard enough sometimes but maybe not at the right time I'd say week 26-28 you might be more likely to let him feel. Even If the kicks feel hard to you soon to your SO they might feel like a poke if that.
