When did your partner start feeling your baby kick?

[Lulu_Laroo]

I am interested to know when your partner/other people were able to put their hands on your tummy and feel the baby kick for themselves?
Over the past couple of days I've started getting some strong kicks, and I'll call OH over and put his hand where the kick is, but she stops! I don't even know if he'll be able to feel her yet anyway.
When will he be able to feel her? I can't wait!

well i would say maybe 3 weeks ago hubby managed to feel a kick...but nothing since then lol
we have tried sitting watching the telly and he leaves his hand on bump just incase...but nothing lol Im constantly saying did you feel that?

I shouted him the other night as I was in the bath and i could see my belly moving, he came running in...and baby stoopped ..............this seems to be a common theme, whever i tell him to feel baby stops doing it...naughty baby

mine was around 20 n half is weeks, OH had to be really presistant, we'd been trying it for days! then he was sat with his hand on my belly for about half hour when he first felt it! has only managed to feel it once since then, but he does enjoy watching my belly bounce and pop out!!!

im sure it wont be long till your OH is feeling it!

I'm the same, my partner can never feel it; men! Bloody hopeless haha, the funniest thing, his excuse the other day was 'It's cuz I've got hard hands' I thought that don't make a bloody difference!! Lmaoo, sorry bout language girls, gotta get rid of my potty mouth haha x

Looks like we've got to be patient then! I'll get him to rest his hand on my tummy when we're watching a film or something

I was about 19 weeks and it was the same day I felt the first proper kick. She kicks every day now and when she starts kicking it goes on for a wee while so I normally get oh to put his hand on my tummy and just wait until she kicks again normally we watch something on tv and relax. She pokes the sides of my bump out all the time now when she kicks hehe. X
