Question for you plus size mommies and mommies to be!


Okay, so my question to you ladies is.......
When, if ever, did anyone else (hubby, mum, friends...) start to feel little one kicking?? I'm 25 weeks today and I've been feeling it for about 4-5 weeks now, but I still can't feel anything from the outside of my belly. Now, I'm a pretty big girl, 270 lbs prior to getting pregnant, and I'm just wondering if hubby will ever get to feel our little one move inside my belly!?!?

Any opinions or stories are appreciated, thanks ladies!

I started feeling something around 18 weeks but couldn't feel it on the outside until about 20 weeks - and even then, I think a lot of it was in my head. I would say it's been very obvious on the outside for the past 3 weeks (so since about 30 weeks) though DH still manages to miss all of the action.

hiya--

i was at 240 pre-pregnancy and i'm almost 29 weeks now. i didn't start feeling definite movement until about 23 weeks but since then it's really ramped up in intensity and for the past week and a half we've been able to see LO kicking hard from the outside. so i don't think how big we are has to do with it, necessarily, just how active your kid is--and mine's trying to plan an escape, apparently.

I think I can answer here.. even though I am not officially 'big' anymore.. I still have a HUGE layer of skin/flab whatever you call it over my bump.
I could feel babs moving from 19weeks but didnt actually see it from the outside til at least 28weeks ish.
The layer camoflages it well! lol
I wish I could make out things like hands and feet but I cant cos of my 'layer' lol

Same thing with me I am a big girl and I could feel LO move from about 16 weeks and OH could not feel him move until 24 weeks but then it was only very small movements. now LO is doing flips inside and everyone can see it. Do not worry everyone is different.

my fella has felt the baby twice (although as soon as i tell him baby is kicking and he puts his hand there baby goes quiet until he moves his hand again, lol)

i've only seen a few belly movements from the outside, but i think my baby has now moved as it's kicks are now quieter and less frequent

i think it also depends as to where your baby is kicking, at first mine was kicking really low down but then shifted to kicking higher and near the belly button and upwards but it's shifted around again and is kicking low where only i can feel it
