How many weeks were you all when you could feel baby from the outside? I'm a solo mum by choice so it's for my benefit really and a few close friends and family. I'm half way tomorrow and cant believe we are there 🩷🩵🩷🩵

hello and congratulations. Hubby could feel the baby from 24 weeks. It gets stronger as the weeks go by.

Hey, fellow SMBC. I felt nothing at all till 26 weeks. I have an interior placenta which for me seems to be cushioning movements even now! I’m 33 weeks and only started feeling or seeing anything from the outside in the past couple of weeks.

I am currently 21 weeks and started feeling things from week 18. It was little taps or pops. My husband was able to feel these too from the beginning. The 'internal' moving, I have only started to feel it -or maybe to realise the difference from regular stomach activity-in the last week or so.

Hi. That’s so comforting and just lovely. If you lie on the floor on your back, it often gets little one wiggling! Diane

Hi Running4u, I'm 25 weeks, and have had tickles and pops since week 16. I've felt the kicks outside since 23 weeks, I think. It can be hard to say what is inside and outside when you feel both. My husband has only just felt it outside during the last week. It is a lovely feeling once you start to recognise it. Enjoy! x
