Can an outsider feel my baby move yet?

I'm not even sure if I've been feeling my baby move. I'm 18wks and I've been waiting to feel Baby move and I think he's been moving. Honestly it could be gas.. lol, sry TMI...

I keep pushing my belly to try to get Baby to move again every time I think I feel it. I was wondering if I'm pushing my belly will I feel it with my hands? Is the baby that strong yet for somebody else to push on my belly and feel Baby? Also, how do I know if I'm pushing my belly too hard? It's not hurting me when I push but is it possible to hurt the baby if I push too hard with my hands?

Also I was watching a movie, Where the Heart Is, and in the beginning she asked her husband if he felt the baby's heartbeat. Is it possible to feel the baby's heartbeat when you are in the last few weeks?

    I was around 21 weeks when I first started to feel my baby move, although I wasn't quite sure if it was that or gas, this is my 1st pregnancy....but, the other morning when I got off work, I laid down and started feeling the same thing, so I lifted my shirt up and watched my stomach, and it was definitely the baby, it was awesome, first time I ever seen him move, but those were the same feelings I've had so I know it's him, so I know if my hubby would have been there he would have been able to feel and see it....but since you are only 18 weeks, I don't know if anyone else would be able to feel it yet....also, you don't have to push on your stomach to feel the baby, all you have to do is put your hand on there gently, and you will be able to feel the baby move...I have heard that the baby will move most when you are relaxed and comfortable....

    Ok, feeling the baby's heartbeat - I have heard that is not possible......although I can't say 100% either way.....
