I'm 16 weeks as well and started exoerencing the same thing about 2 days ago, i found that drinking a lot of water helps reduce them. but its probably to be expected to have some "growing pains" as the baby is growing much more quickly at this point.

I get them sometimes too. My doctor said that because i am so thin i will probably feel them through out my whole pregnancy
