When does baby movement become visible?

Question

I’m 22 weeks, & I can feel her moving. Her movement is just not yet visible to the outside.

Answer

It’s possible that you have an anterior placenta. I have this, and it just means that the placenta sits at the front of the uterus and acts as a buffer to any baby kicks. My OB told me that it might take a few extra weeks to notice external movement. I’m current 21.5 weeks

Answer

I’m 24 weeks today and have been seeing movements for about two weeks. I am a FTM, but have a posterior placenta

Answer

I’ve been able to see him (Husband and tech etc) since 19 weeks but now 23 weeks and I can record him on video he is so strong. He is my second though

Answer

I’m 25 weeks today and started seeing movements from the outside just yesterday. I have an anterior placenta so that’s why it took longer for me.

Answer

Im a FTM and I have an anterior placenta which I thought meant I wouldn’t feel movmenet inside/outside or see movements until quite further along which was sad but I 100% felt my girl at 16 + 2 weeks and it hasn’t stopped since she only gets stronger. I felt her move from the outside very tiny at 19 + 1 and seen her do her little kicks yesterday but she was kicking lots in one spot so it was very light but I caught it on camera. This morning at 20 + 1 my partner felt a big kick on his hand also which was exciting. 
Everybody is different and we all carry baby’s differently and feel things at different times! I think this early it’s all about timing, I feel as tho the reason I can see or feel with my hand is because she will go crazy I’m one area so it’s easy to focus on watching or putting my hand there other then playing a guessing game!

Answer

I can see his big kicks but no wriggling or moving yet. I have a posterior abutting placenta and am 25w today.

Answer

I’m 23 weeks with an anterior placenta and I can feel movements but my husband still can’t..my dr said most likely around 25 -28 weeks to see it from the outside and for others to feel him.

Answer

Hmmm... not sure for you. My family and friends have been able to feel him move since week 16. Even the ultrasound tech could feel him pushing. My uterus also sits well towards the front of my abdominal cavity.
