When can someone feel the baby kick from outside the mama's belly?

Question

I am 25 weeks pregnant and can feel the kicks all the time, but whenever I ask my husband to put his hand on my belly he says he feels nothing, which seems weird to me cause I can feel it with my hand on my belly (but maybe it is because I can also feel it inside).

Answer 1

Usually by 24 weeks some people can feel from the outside but every womans body is different and some people feel sooner and some later..A lot of the time when u feel your baby all the time,by the u tell someone to feel baby,baby stops as if he/she knows that someone else is there...everytime my sister in laws baby moved she could feel it and see it but whenever i went to touch i couldnt feel it..she gave birth a week ago and i never got to feel that little girl..lol

I am 20 weeks and been feeling little kicks low down and just last night i pressed firmly on my lower abdomen and felt the kick myself *this is my 3rd* but i know my hubby prob wont be able to yet so im gonna wait a couple more weeks. Dont worry though he will feel her/him real soon. I give it a week at most...Sit down and watch tv with him after eating and have him put his hand where baby usually moves,dont let him move until baby kicks..thats what i did with my second..congrats and good luck!

Since every woman is different, I'm sure the kicks will become stronger real soon! I'm 29 weeks today and my fiance began feeling the kicks around 24 weeks, but at 28 weeks, it was real obvious. I can even see my stomach jump up from my son's kicks. Give it a week or two and I'm sure your husband will feel his little soccer player soon!

Answer 3

My husband could feel the baby kick around 22 weeks. But only when he was kicking me really hard. After 24 weeks he could feel him move and kick a lot more frequently.

Each baby is different. Your baby's kicks and punches will get stronger every day and your husband should be able to feel it very soon. Congrats!

My husband didn't feel our first son kick until almost the delivery date, we were spooning and my belly against his back he felt a kick and was so so excited (he was the only one who could feel the baby kick. Now im pregnant with my second and much more flab in the tummy area, but everyone felt my baby kick now and I am about 25 weeks. I'm due July 3. how about you?

Answer 5

I started feeling my little girl kick from the outside around 20 1/2 to 21 weeks. I am 22 weeks now.

Answer 6

It all depends on how much fat tissue is in the belly. People could feel my babies at about 22 weeks- I usually weighed 140-145 at full term so there wasn't much between the uterus and the skin. When the babes would roll over and kick at the later stages it could even be visible to others.

Answer 7

He might be able to feel it now if it is a strong kick. In the next few weeks baby will get bigger and I'm sure he'll feel some kicks/punches soon!

Answer 8

My boyfriend was able to feel it around 21/22 weeks. Now, at 26 weeks, the kicks are so strong you can actually see my belly move. It's amazing how strong they can get very quickly.

Answer 9

yeah that's weird, I'm 17 1/2 and I am now finally convenced that what i'm feeling is kicks. Even this early when I put my hand on my stomach I can feel it too. Maybe have him put his cheek up to your stomach. It's more sensitive and he might be able to feel it that way.

Congrats! You've made it to the save mark...25weeks!

The longer you go, the more easier it will be for people to feel the kicking. Just wait. Also right now from outside it will feel more like a pushing than kicking. Have fun!
