As a plus size pregnant woman, was your partner able to feel the baby's movement?

Question

My partner keeps asking me to notify him when our baby moves, but I still can't feel her from the outside @27weeks and it breaks my heart to not be able to show him she's actually kicking. He looks disappointed every time. By belly is showing and is firm at this stage and just crossing my fingers we'll be able to feel her at some point before her debut.

Answer

19 weeks with my first, never did with our second, and 3rd time around I have an anterior placenta and haven't been able to feel her on there outside yet at 25 weeks

Answer

I have an anterior placenta, but my husband started being able to feel movement between 23 and 24 weeks, low, and only when I lie on my back. I'm 5'6" and weighing 221 lbs right now.

Answer

I'm 26 weeks and he has been able to feel/see her move from the outside since about 22 weeks. It can take a little while, especially if baby likes to sit back farther.

Answer

I'm almost 23 weeks and my husband has felt our baby once or twice but all the movement is still super low down so he can only feel the stronger kicks when he literally puts his hand on me around my pubic area, then usually the baby stops moving 😂. He doesn't feel movement often but I'm hoping bub will move up to where my belly is harder so we can feel some more movement on the outside soon
