Sometimes, when you have had more than one child, it is easier for you to feel the differences in your body with another pregnancy. i have had four kids and i felt my third and fourth kids kick by 12-14 weeks. So yes its normal to feel them kick this early. It just means you have a very active little person!! :) Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy because that little booger will be like a jumping bean in your belly

I am also 16 weeks (due 17th November) and it feels like FOREVER since I found out I was pregnant and likewise till I will finally meet my babies. I am only just starting to look pregnant too and it feels like it has been so long coming, rather than just looking like I've eaten too much. I am also at university studying and have 1 daughter to keep me busy but I still can't wait till the day I finally meet them! At least I have a little consolation in that because I'm pregnant with twins my doc says I will go early, probably between 35-37 weeks. So there's knocked a few more weeks wait off for me. Good luck with your pregnancy hun - it will get there, just really slowly....

I am also 16 week and have thought I've been feeling the baby move for about 2 weeks. Finally this week I am convinced I am feeling the baby kick.

Well, it's not a bad thing. This is great! Many moms don't feel it until 20 weeks. But this is your 2nd baby, so you know what to look for. (I thought the flutters were gas bubbles for a few weeks with my first one! Then I got a foot in the ribs and realized what I was actually feeling!)
Congrates!

It's normal....with my last son I felt him kicking at 14 weeks and my friends have felt kicking in their pregnancies as early as 12 weeks. So I don't think you have anything to worry about but you could always ask your doctor.

It being your second pregnancy and you know the feeling of flutters, I'm positive its your baby kicking. Your uterus isn't as tight as when you were carrying your 1st born so you can feel the flutters sooner!
Enjoy the flutters! Lucky you! :) I had to wait til 21 weeks to feel my baby! :)

You feel it quite sooner with the 2nd, 3rd, etc baby 1) b/c you're already stretched out and the muscles are weaker than before 2) you are able to recognize what it would feel like to have the baby move.
Congrats & best of luck!
