Just wondered when your partners managed to feel the baby kicking. I have been feeling them since 16 weeks and now at 20 weeks I am wondering whether my hubby should be able to feel them yet as it would be lovely for him to share what I have been feeling.

Kerry - Your Hubby should be able to feel baby kick.

If you put his fingertips (most sensitive part) there he should be able to feel, although sometimes the baby has a habbit of stopping when someone just gets there hand there!

Failing that try putting your tummy against his, my DH really felt our baby girl kick when we were cuddling and he was really surprised how strong it was!

I hope he gets to feel it soon hun.

Hi there Kerry

I felt are baby move at 14 wks it became really strong kicks at 20wks, My partner felt the baby move at 20 wks, I was told by my m/w to drink some fizzy orange and lay on my left side and df put his hand on my tummy....he felt the baby moving straight away! GOODLUCK! []

Hi Leanne and Jen,

Thanks for your messages. I think hubby would probably be able to feel the little one if only baby would kick when he tries to feel it! Every time I get kicks, hubby comes over and puts his hand on my belly and what does the little wriggler do, he stays completely still. That is until, he takes his hand away! Causing mischeif already and he's not even here yet. I lay there last night watching my tummy and every time he kicked, i could see my tummy move! Wow, I just laid there laughing!!!

Take care

Hi Kerry

I'm nearly 22wks and for the past 2 weeks when I can feel that baby is awake. I lay down and DH puts his cheek/ear to my tummy and can hear baby moving around, he talks to baby and gets kicks back which he can feel on his cheek or ear. It's lovely for DH as he feels he's bonding to his little one already....

Best of luck, it will happen soon.
