When did your partner first feel movement?

Anonymous
I am almost 25 weeks and I am feelings lots of movement from the inside but my husband has yet to feel the baby. When did your partners start to feel your babies?

I am 25 weeks, and my husband JUST felt her last night. I had a big glass of grapefruit juice.

It was so nice to finally share it!

My baby "rolls" around or so it seems. Definitely most obvious at night when winding down. DH is so tickled he gets to share in it finally.

I've had the past 8 months to adjust, for him though, I think it just now hit him.

16/17 weeks right after a peanut butter and jelly sandwich- I laid back on the couch and the movment was stronger than I had ever felt before.... he could feel it too.

I was able to feel movement as early as 16/17 weeks, although it took my husband till about week 20 to feel.

Are there certain foods that supposedly make the baby move more? Sweet, sugary stuff?

I wonder if the way that 'mom' is built has something to do with it too. If you have more "layers" it might be harder for him to feel it....

My husband felt her kick just before 23 weeks. We could see her moving from the outside around 24/25 weeks.

My husband felt my baby around 23 weeks and I have extra padding. Now - it also matters where your placenta is located to as to strength etc.
