Luckiy my friends/family were very excited to feel him roll around so I didn't feel alone in that sense. I miss being pregnant - I'm glad you're soaking it up!</p> <p>Actually, at 29 weeks we went to a 3D/4D ultrasound and DH loved it. I think that seeing the baby made it more real and the fact the the baby had some of his features didn't hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607883 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:56:11 +0000 lomom 607883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: that's comforting to know, thanks for chiming in :) I was really a bit dismayed that he almost didn't care (he went straight back to watching some show about gold). To me, the first time I felt LO was a serious OMG moment and brought tears to my eyes. Even now, it's still something that I pause and take in. He won't be inmy belly forever so I try to soak up every kick :) I'll miss it! Although I'll be excited to hold him, it's still such a really special time, to be pregnant and feel those kicks and punches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607875 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 10:53:40 +0000 Ra 607875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is so anxious to feel a real kick! Like many of your LO's, our little man is shy and stops kicking as soon as DH puts his hand on my belly. So frustrating!</p> <p>He was able to feel a little bit towards the end of the "flutters" stage but was a little disappointed that it "felt like a gas bubble." Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607715 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:56:25 +0000 Mrsjets 607715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was a little nonchalant about it but I think that's because this saying is true 'a woman becomes a mother when she finds out she's pregnant. A man becomes a father when he holds his baby." I can tell you that my DH is the most wonderful father to our son, and I think he will be more connected to my pregnancy next time because he knows the outcome now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607665 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:05:41 +0000 MrsRoo 607665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he got a little teary-eyed, actually! He had this shocked face for a couple seconds, then was just amazed. Now he falls asleep with his hand on the belly every. single. night. It's adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607663 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 09:05:06 +0000 Tidybee 607663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll never forget the look on his face, but it's hard to put into words. A mixture of happiness/surprise/amazement/wonder/excitement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607624 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:29:59 +0000 Smurfette 607624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His face was priceless sad how cool it was. Think that is when it made it real for him, even after seeing her in ultrasounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607619 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:20:38 +0000 anbanan15 607619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"That's so creepy". He wasn't into the whole pregnancy body changes thing in general but loved u/s and hearing the heart rate etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607618 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:17:15 +0000 MamaMoose 607618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His eyes got really wide with surprise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607615 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:12:09 +0000 knittylady 607615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is shy too. He'll be kicking up a storm but the second DH comes over he stops! Oy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607614 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:12:02 +0000 Cherrybee 607614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine hasn't felt kicks yet but he gets excited enough when I feel them!! "Is it moving? Little wriggler!" I can't wait until they're strong enough to feel from the outside!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607610 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:08:47 +0000 maybebaby 607610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His face was priceless! His eyes got all wide and he said "oh my god!" Now that the kicks are stronger, when he gets a really good one he has a great reaction, but the little ones are "old news." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607522 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 03:52:57 +0000 aprk 607522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was sort of surprised and in disbelief </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607508 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 02:55:38 +0000 mediagirl 607508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He thought it was weird! He also thought the baby hated him because every time he put his hand on my belly, she would stop moving. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-dhs-response-to-feeling-lo-move-for-the-first-time#post-607496 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 01:59:46 +0000 lomom 607496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 29w1d and fiiiiinally DH felt kicks! I'm way more excited about this than he is and I'm not sure why lol. I think he was a little disappointed when he realized it just felt like little pokes/taps. I don't know what he was expecting! I think he will find it cooler as he experiences it more. </p> <p>What was your DH's response to feeling LO kick for the first time? </p>
