16 weeks pregnant. Question about baby moving.?

Dont worry about quickening yet. many woman dont feel the first movements until 20 weeks or later.

I know exactly how you feel. I worry about stuff all the time, especially when it has to do with my 20 month old son, or this 17 week pregnancy, for sure.

I know it is common to feel movement around 20 weeks, where you can really identify the movements and you are aware of them. You won't feel consistent movement until 25-28 weeks. That's when you start actually counting your kicks and watching for decreased movement.

I felt my first flutter around 17 weeks with my first and around 15 weeks with this one. Now, I am feeling flutters a couple times a day.

Don't worry. Stress is an unnecessary part of pregnancy that can steal away your joy! Relax and soak in the miracle of the baby you are making! Best of luck! :)

Missed miscarriages are fairly rare and worrying won't do you any good anyways, so stop that! Besides, it's not uncommon at all to not feel movement yet, even with a second pregnancy. I didn't feel my little girl until 17 weeks and even then, I wasn't 100% it was her and not just something to do with my digestive system.

Eat something sweet or drink something acidic like OJ, or caffeinated like pop or coffee. Lie down on your left side and see if you feel anything in about 20 minutes. If you don't, there's still no need to worry...that's just an optimal way to be able to feel your baby.

I had to pull out my records again (I write everything down) and found that I felt baby movement around 12-18 weeks. Baby movements are most commonly mistaken for gas. I mistook mine for gas. But once you start feeling the same feeling in your tunny everyday, you'll know it's the baby moving and you'll be able to differentiate it from gas. It just feels like a movement. Like gas moving through your stomach except that it's not gas, it's your baby :-) Its really hard to tell at first, especially if this is your first child. It might even feel like a thump/thud in your belly. But after a while, you'll get used to the movement...and you'll become more and more excited about meeting your new baby. I know I did! :-)

You are still quite early to worry about not feeling movement. I didn't feel my baby move until 20 weeks and this was about when the doctor said to expect it. I wouldn't be nervous at all. If you have made it past first trimester and heard the heartbeat the risk of miscarriage is very low! I'm sure baby is just fine!

Most women do not feel movement until 18 weeks. Its' rare to feel the baby sooner, even with other pregnancies but it can happen. Movement at this point IF you are feeling the baby (and it's not just gas bubbles) it would be very light and very inconsistant. Movement won't be consistant until after 18 weeks, maybe even 20. You are fine and normal and healthy.

well don't worry if you still haven't felt your baby move it is still very little to feel anything just yet,i'm currently 24 weeks with my 3rd baby and i was expecting to feel it move earlier but it didn't happen if anything i felt a very light popping like once a week when i was around 16 weeks but it was just barely it wasn't until i got to my 19 week that's when i could really feel him kicking, now it every single day throughout the day that i feel my son moving in there,so don't worry just give your baby a few more weeks so that he/she can get a little bigger and stronger to feel anything

i didnt put 2 and 2 together till i had my sex ultrasound at 21 weeks and saw the baby kick and feel it at the same time. I felt the sensation a few times before, but for all I know it was gas lol. it didnt quite feel like butterflies as some say...it kinda felt...like bubbles. and of course the further along I was and the bigger he got, the more intense it felt and it literally felt like a kick lol

i wouldnt worry too much about it, youre still very early in your pregnancy. not until about 17 or 18 weeks does the baby really make any movement.

I didn't feel movements until I was about 20 weeks. You'll probably feel it a little earlier, since this is your second, but I wouldn't worry.
