    Well nearly 17 weeks now and since saturday night (just as I was trying to get cumfee in bed) I'v been able feel the baby moving around inside and I can tell what side the baby is sitting on. Its amazing but how long more until my Husband will get to feel it when he feels my tummy??

    I remember the first time I felt it and knew for sure it was the baby- was at 17 weeks as well!! I would say it was probably around 22 or 23 weeks before my OH could feel him. A lot of that was he would miss the kicks and baby wasn't cooperative! Now he kicks his hand for fun when OH puts it there :D

    Yea thats the other part I know its hard to time the kicks right and I really want him to feel it for himself. I think its horrible that they arent more involved with it all besides doctor visits

    I'm 22 weeks this week and the kicks have been there for about a fortnight. They're pretty mild though so I dont expect my husband will be able to feel them for a while yet. Also, there are completely sporadic, short of him holding my tummy all the time, I think he'll have to wait patiently!
