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

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.
