Thankyou all heaps!! i really appreciate it and so does my fiance it makes us both feel a lot better to know that he wont be missin out on much

dont worry too much about him missing anything coz like the others said there isn't much movment till 16 weeks but you may not even feel it for a while if u have a quiet bub. they move or around 20 weeks (mine didnt stop after that). but the thing is he would have to pretty lucky to feel it coz somtimes they are shy and seem to know when someone is waiting for a kick. if somone was trying to feel my lil man kick he normally wouldnt do it again until their hand was taken of my belly. not many people felt him move even though he was so active. but anyway dont stress this is the most exciting time of your life and u can tell ur fiance all about it on the phone or whatever, coz i'm sure he'll want constant updates.

good luck and congrats

and if u ever want to chat u can minti mail me or add me as a freind if u like

Your partner may miss out on the first ultrasound at 12 weeks, but there's really not a lot to see. My bubby's dad missed my first only a few days ago, but it didnt' really matter much as the best one is the ultrasound you have at 20 weeks. Thats when the fetus really starts to look like a baby and you can even find out the gender if you like.

As for movement, you will feel it a lot sooner than he will be able to. he won't be able to feel much until you're about 20 weeks anyway. It seems to be the 20 week mark that bubbies tend to start getting really interesting. So, no, your partner won't miss much, if anything... except for missing you.

Cheers, DA

Congratulations!

Two months will fly by! My husband had to leave us when I was 6 months pregnant as he was posted overseas. He made it to the birth, two weeks prior and one week after then did not see us again for 4 months as I was awaiting for my visa to join him.

I don't think he will miss out on too much, I felt kicking at about 16 weeks, it felt like bubbles in my tummy once it happens you will not mistake it!

Good luck, I hope you have a smooth pregnancy!

HI there and congratulations on your pregnancy,usually with your 1st pregnancy you dont feel movment until about 15 -16 weeks and that is just like little flutters in your stomach.Maybe in your 20th week and more your partner will feel movements so I really dont think he will miss much of that ,maybe he will not be back for your ultrasound which is truly a wonderful experience to see and hear the little life inside of you.The hospital usually give you little pics of the ultra sound to keep to show your partner.I loved being pregnant and it is just a wonderful experience to carry and give birth.Good luck and hope to see you around minti .
