Should I feel movement?

Hi

I am 16 weeks preggers with my second and I am struggling to figure out whether or not I can feel the wee bubs! It's been 5 years since my last pregnancy and have forgot what it feels like tbh x
Sometimes at night when I lie still I think I can feel slight popping/fluttering but I don't know if it is my imagination or not! I really thought I could feel bubs the other day but it turned out to be gas !!
I know bubs is fine as heard the heartbeat for the first time 2 days ago!! Just looking for a wee bit of advice please ladies x

im thinking the same as you!...i cant decide if what i feel is baby moving or my imagination, i only "feel" anything when im lying on my side but i was hoping for more as this is my 4th and i thought you felt movement earlier, but my MW said it could be up to 20 weeks before i felt anything definate....so im hanging in there x

It's normal for you not to feel any movement yet. Some women don't feel movement until after 20 weeks.

It's normal. My midwife said I was early and I felt my bubs at 18 weeks!

Thanks girls,

just thought I would have felt it by now with it being my second but I am not worried just eager to feel my wee baby wriggling about. It's the best feeling in the world x

It sure is the best feeling! Hope you feel definate movements soon! xx

Thanks Mrs park, I hope so too. Every night I lie awake in bed just hoping to feel something, lol x Every night I think come on wee bubs let me feel something. my hubby keeps holding my wee bump hoping to feel something but I am sure it will be another 4 to 6 weeks or so before he can feel it too. Can't wait for my son to feel his wee brother or sister kicking as well x

Aw I know I can't wait for my hubby to be able to feel kicks! Your son must be so excited?! How cute! How old is he?
