Wondering when baby can be felt from outside?

My baby is really starting to get active. I am 22 weeks and 2 days, and I
would say today is the first time I felt anything more than a flutter or
something that felt like she is rolling over. She kicked me today!

I still can't feel anything at all outside my stomach though even though
from inside it feels like she is moving very low and just under my skin.
When I feel on the outisde all I feel is my heartbeat- must be a vein there.
I wonder when I will be able to feel her by feeling of my stomach with my
hand??

Give it maybe two to three more weeks and it will be unmistakable from
the outside. Wait until the baby's really big and you can just sit and
watch your stomach rolling and jumping!

I was feeling baby from the outside by 18 weeks. But then, this one is a
kickboxer and never sleeps.

I felt my daughter at 18 weeks - or should I say, my husband did! The first
time it was 'feelable' on the outside, and he beat me to it.

I was about as far along as you are, maybe a few weeks less when I was lying
in the bath. I looked down at my tummy, lifted it up a little, and right at
the pubic bone I could *see* flutter. I felt my daughter move *really* early
though! But I was about 5 months along, because it was one of my first baths
in our new duplex apartment, back when I was so relieved to be moving
somewhere with a bathroom on the same floor as my bedroom.
