Hi everyone,
I started feeling my baby from 21 weeks, and from 22 weeks you could also feel it from the outside. My partner too, it's so lovely.
Now I'm 23+4 weeks pregnant, and I can already see from the outside when the baby kicks. Everyone says this is quite early.
Are there more people who have experienced this at 23 weeks? Is it because the baby is very big?
Love,

    Hey, I'm also 23 weeks and 4 days, and our little girl is a big one too, and she's been visible on the surface for a week now. For a first baby, I already have a serious belly, so it's possible our babies are big. But my placenta is also at the back, and I carry very forward, so those could also be advantages for seeing the baby quickly

    My son was also very active. And I already had quite a big belly around that time at 23 weeks, and could see and feel the baby from the outside too. He was born at 39 weeks, was 50 cm and 3365 grams, so just an average-sized baby. I don't think that has anything to do with the size of your baby, but more with his position and indeed where your placenta is located, and how hard your little one can kick already. So I wouldn't worry about having a big baby

    Thanks for your replies! I'm not worried, just curious since everyone says that's quite early.
    Love

    I'm already 26 weeks now, and I've been feeling my baby daily since 17 weeks. I could feel them on the outside pretty soon after that, and I only started paying attention to seeing them kick from the outside at 20 weeks.

    My placenta is positioned at the back, and it's still very low. I barely have a belly, so everything is clearly visible

    I could feel my little one from 14 weeks already. From 22 weeks you could also see the movements clearly. Nothing to worry about, moving well is a good sign

    Here are the first recorded little movements just before the 20 weeks
