Is it normal to feel little kicks at 16 weeks?

Question

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I started feeling fluttering at the end of my 14th week. Now it's getting stronger and stronger and feels like little kicks. I thought I wouldn't feel the baby until about 18-20 weeks, but I'm not really sure since this is my first pregnancy.

The only thing I can think of is that I might be a few weeks further than I thought, since they're still going by my LMP and I wasn't really sure about the date.

Has anyone else felt the baby kick this early?

Answer 1

16-20 weeks is actually the time frame to start feeling the baby kick, but it is different with every person. I started to feel both of mine around the the 15-16 week time period.
Some women with their first pregnancy don't even realize that they are feeling their baby and some chalk it up to gas lol I though that was pretty funny when my doctor told me that.

Good luck and Congrats :0)

Answer 2

Everyone and every pregnancy are different. I felt fluttering with my daughter at 15 weeks and kicking within 2-3 weeks after that. I am 13 weeks pregnant again and I think I felt the baby moving last night. A lot has to with how in tune you are with your own body and your size. Extra weight can sometimes interfere with feeling the baby, so if you're in good shape then I would say it's very possible to feel the baby kick this early.

Answer 3

I'm 16 1/2 weeks for sure. I want to think that I've felt some things but I can't be 100% sure. This is my 1st pregnancy too. It is possible though. I asked my dr. and he said anywhere from 16 - 22 weeks is when you can begin to feel something. Tell ya what though... that little buger must be kicking my bladder!!!

Answer 4

I am 17 weeks and started to feel "kicks" last week. Congrats you and the baby sound like you are doing just wonderful!

Answer 5

My son was right there at that time starting to kick it is very possible!
