Some people feel it as early as 15 weeks..But others wont feel it until 22-25 weeks. Some people say you cant feel it very much if its your first pregnancy...

Some people desribe it as butterflies. I'm wondering if that is what I felt in my stomache. It was really light kind of flutter. I've only felt that feeling once though. I know people experience that at different times thru their pregnancy...I just wonder what it feels like for different women. Smile

Oh, yeah..Sorry I read that wrong...Lol - yeah...It feels like butterflys a little at first...Then a little later it starts to feel as iff someone was tapping you from the inside...Then eventually it will get really strong...Yay!

They start out really light then gradually get stronger and finally your to the point were u say owe or tell ur baby to stop becuase it hurts. I gasp for air because she sometimes kicks that hard. Lol

Its unmistakable!! It feels like a little living creature stretching inside you! Maybe a little like gas, but different. Its in a different spot - way up close to the front of your lower abdomen instead of in your back like gas is.

16 weeks is a little early, but not impossibly early. If its really the baby moving, you'll feel it constantly soon. I felt it about every other day for 2 weeks and then every day and now 10-20 times a day.
