16 weeks and no movement...worried!?!

I've just entered my 16th week and I still haven't felt the baby move at all.  Should I be worried?

Thanks for the comments.  They made me feel much better.  Hopefully I will start feeling movement before too long.

Your baby is still pretty small and can be moving and kicking, but you may not be able to feel it depending on the baby's position. Give it a few more weeks and I'm sure you will start feeling movement. Sometimes it's hard to tell. I would always confuse gas and the baby moving! lol. As they get bigger, you can really start to tell. I started to feel flutters around 14 weeks but wasn't certain it was the baby until I was 16 or 17 weeks. The baby didn't move everyday until I was about 23 weeks. You'll feel those movements soon! =)
