I first felt Ryan move at 20 weeks & his daddy felt him move 3 weeks later

If u can find wot lo responds 2 best this might help - Ryan did big kicks & wriggles 2 music so we played him some, put the ear phones on my belly & off he went

Some babies respond 2 light or prodding or even try getting ur dp 2 talk with his mouth agaist ur tummy but b warned Ryans daddy got a kick in ear (from ryan not me)after doing this lol

I felt Max kick at 16 weeks and Brett felt him kick about a fortnight later.  Max was a very active baby, can you remember Squidge?

I was 17 weeks pregnant with Tom when I felt him kick and DH felt him move at about 20 weeks.

I have it all written down-lol.

I don't know why some babies tend to 'show' their movements more than others, but when DH sees/feels that first kick it's going to be such a lovely moment for you both.

I just hope Caleb does a lil jig for his auntie!!

Shy? You? You're having a laugh!!

Right, I'm making it my auntie mission to get that baby kicking for his daddy!

I bet Max will be able to do it!!

I used to notice the kicks more in the evening when I was relaxed watching telly.  But los always seem to kick you when you least expect it.  Ask mum about the Monsoon shop incident with Max.

TC Lovey.  Love n hugs. Zo xxx

I agree with you there Zoe, sorry Lou but you've never been shy chick!  Still remember you trying to tag along with us in germany, and us doing our best to run away...failed miserably.

It'll happen soon enough, just watch out for the elbows and feet when they go moving across your tummy, bit like a scene out of the old alien films.

If you want a giggle, when movements get larger, do the malteaser thing, stick one on your belly and wait for it to get booted off.  Mind you when I was pregnant with my monsters, they objected to me resting cups of tea on my belly as I used belly as a handy coffee table!  Lost lots of brews that way.

Take care and hope u enjoying the new house

DP used to sit with his hand resting on my belly in the evening. Bubs got used to the vibrations through his hand when he talked and knew it was him so used to kick loads! I cant remember what point in my pregnancy it was though.

Good luck!
