Can I feel a baby kick with my hand at 23 weeks?

Koreen
Is it possible for me to feel my baby "kick" with my hand on my stomach at 23 weeks? I'm not sure if it's the baby or sown thing else (lol anything else would be creepy I guess) but I put my hand on my stomach and felt 3 movements towards my hand. Is the baby big enough for this?

It's my first baby but I think it's because the placenta is located at the back, so the baby is right at the front

I chose maybe bc it depend on you, the baby and the placenta. I feel pretty strong movement internally at 22w3d, but I am unable to feel them externally. I have an anterior placenta meaning my placenta is I the front wall of my uterus so it makes it more difficult to feel them.

You can feel it especially cause you are feeling it from both sides but sometimes it's hard for someone else to feel it. I felt my first baby kick with my hand at 20weeks but it was very faint. I'm currently on my third and everything is just more stretched out and such so I didn't feel anything till about 24weeks.

I'm 20 wks 2 days, and can feel him from the outside! Sometimes see it also if I happen to look at the right moment (only when I'm laying down). His kicks are very random throughout the day so usually when I feel from the outside its because I was lucky enough to have my hand there at that time .. So I'm gonna say of course!

I have been feeling my baby boy on the outside since I was 18 weeks now 23 weeks. This is my second baby. My first I didn't feel her until I was 20-21 weeks on the outside.

I'm 24 weeks 6 days today and have been seeing/feeling movement on the outside since 22 weeks this is my 3rd. My daughter who is 6 says she can feel the kicks when she puts her hand on my belly and she finds it funny when she sees my belly jump :) my hubby not felt anything yet as baby seems to stop when hubby goes near poor hubby!!!! and my 3 year old loves to rub my belly and sing to the baby soooo cute :) xxxx

I voted maybe, just depends on your body. It's possible to feel them kick at 23 weeks but it might not be as strong but if your feeling it on the outside it really can't be anything else but the baby haha the inside is more questionable as to whether it's the baby or.gas or whatever else
