Feeling baby move at 16 weeks?

[tinkerbelle93]

I'm around 16 weeks and 5 days pregnant (my ticker is wrong, need to change it lol) and this past week or so I've felt strange flutters in my lower abdomen that happen a lot. I've never felt this sensation before and was wondering whether it could be baby movements? It is a bit early though as this is my first baby and I've been feeling them since 15 weeks which is really early xx

I started feeling movement from about 16 weeks too - strange little flutters. This past week it has got a lot stronger. It does seem quite early and it took me by surprise, but maybe it's the way our babies are positioned, or the way we're carrying or something?! It's nice though!

It is nice but I'd enjoy it more if I knew for sure it was the baby I guess I'll be more certain if these movements get stronger at 18 weeks xx

I'm 17 weeks and the popping bubble thing as gotten more frequent, not so much a butterly feeling.
I know its still early but I was just watchin tv last night with hand on belly, I had a few of the pop/kicks and suddenly got one straight into my hand, actually got poked in the hand by my belly, and felt the twitch at the same time. Never had that ever! Must have been a strong kick as its still earliesh.
now I think I'm more aware of it and feel a sort of vague rummaging in there quite often. Will probably go quiet again and come back though.

I can't wait to feel my baby move. Midwife said it should be anytime now. Come on baby S get wriggling so I can feel you

I felt mine at 17 weeks little flutters, like a butterfly was inside me!
But over the past few days they have gotten so much stronger, constantly thumping me, especially after i've been poking my bump!

I started feeling my first around 15 weeks and this one i've felt little movements from about 10/11 weeks. Just now when i had my hand on my lower belly i'm sure i felt a kick on the outside - it's hard to judge when you feel it inside at the same time.

Defo sounds like your baby to me.

sounds like your baby is moving!

I felt little pokes and kicks at 16w3d, and can now actually see my bump protrude out slightly where s/he kicks. I love it!!

Yeah I've been feeling indescribable sensations inside there! Especially in the evening when I'm lying down, once it actually shocked me, must be the baby!

I didnt feel my first baby til 19+2 and it was punches/kicks straight away so dont think I recognised the flutters - mistook them for wind maybe!

This 2nd baby I felt first bubbles at 10+5 - wasnt sure it was baby though, but then had baby sticking out my tummy while I was laying in my bed at 11+2 and felt the bubbles then too so it was definitely baby! And then from 11wks it has just got stronger and stronger - bubbles, pops, rolls, kicks... Midwife pretty much laughed at me when at my 16wk appt I told her I had been feeling baby from 10+wks!

Its so amazing!
