I've been feeling him since about 15.5 weeks on the inside, I'm 22 weeks now. When can I expect to feel him moving by placing my hand on my belly?
Thanks!

Daaaaang, I've been reading these answers and mine's WAY different from theirs! I felt baby kick on the outside starting at 19 weeks. He would never do it for anyone besides me until 21 weeks, and now at 23 weeks he never stops (or at least it feels that way). My belly bounces and, as long as he's awake, all you have to do is place your hand lightly on my belly and you can feel him squirm under it or sort of jump...and if you're lucky he'll actually kick your hand! The doctor told me he was more active than average, so maybe that's why it was so early. He gets his exercise...he tries to push me away from the counter when I'm washing dishes and he tried to push books off my tummy when I'm reading! Oh, and I was about 25 pounds overweight prepregnancy, so I don't know if size has anything to do with it. I guess it's just how active and strong the baby is!

I'm 22 weeks now and I feel my bunchkin moving on the outside. She moves alot and I enjoy every movement she makes. My guy is probably tired of running over to my belly every time she moves lol. I can even look at my belly and see movement. It is ohhh sooo exciting. Good luck and congratulations.

I was about 22-26 weeks when I really started to feel my little one on the outside. At first it felt a little weird to me since I didn't know what to expect. But it's a good feeling to know that your baby is okay and happy. Just know that the closer you are to your due date the more active the baby is, until he/she runs out of room. Congrats and may God bless you and your new family.

Everybody is different - which you would already know :) I started feeling my bub move from the outside at 22/23 weeks. Like a little heart beat is my best way to decribe to you how it felt :) I'd say you will start feeling your bub kick very soon :) Good luck!!

Somewhere between 28 and 30 weeks I started feeling little bumps from the outside.

Around 6 or 7 months depending on your body type. A lady with little to no belly fat will show outside movement sooner.

I was 22/23 weeks, I just pressed down with a few fingers and she kicked back. My hubby felt it before I did on the outside. Just don't press too hard but if you press now you might be able to feel him move.....good luck and congrats!!!

I felt this one at a little before you did. On the outside, though, I didn't feel him till about 29 weeks

Depends on your body type. It took about 6 months until dad could feel the baby move. It all depends on your body and how thin and small you are before you got pregnant.
