    You may not feel the baby again for a few days to even a week.. Dont panic its normal. In a few weeks though you will likely noticed movement more often.. but still sometimes not everyday. Expect to feel your baby move everyday from 22-26 weeks its different for everyone. The doctor will ask you to start doing a kick count around 28-30 weeks.

    you might not feel too much kicking in the next week or so, but don't worry about it. Most moms don't feel the baby kick all the time right after the first time, and some even go days without feeling movements... but soon your child will be moving and kicking so much, and where others can see and feel it.... good luck, and it might be easier to feel movement when you lie flat on your back.

    ok seriously i would say that you are not going to feel it at all for maybe a few days or even a few weeks.

    the same thing happened to me, i felt the first movements at 14 weeks and than absolutely nothing up until 19weeks exactly.. even then he only kicked once a day and it was soo tiny i wasnt sure if it was him or not, it was more like my muscles where chucking a spasm. or tiny air bubbles hitting me from the inside

    you may be one of the lucky ones, but congratulations anyway. it only gets better and its the most beautiful feeling the world.

    16weeks is still early for kicks.. You will feel it a lot more frequently around 22weeks.. I am 24 weeks now and this is my second baby. She doesn't stop kicking me now but every child is different.. It also depends on your weight. If you are heavier then average you might not feel them as good as someone who is average or below weight.

    depending on how active your baby is, you wont feel that often right now but....month by month movements get stronger and more constant....im 9months and baby moves constantly
