I felt my oldest move at about 15 weeks. I felt her everyday and then at 20 weeks I felt nothing for 3 days. I was only maybe 105 lbs at the time too so I was freaked out. I went to the hospital and they found her heart beat just fine. Because I was still so concerned they gave me an ultrasound and there she was kicking around but she was still so tiny that she had found a little place that I couldn't feel her. For this reason that is why they don't have kick counts start until about 26 weeks. I'm sure your baby is just fine. 16 weeks is early and your baby is still tiny enough to hide.

Have you ever woken up in the morning and thought "scre*w it I'm just going to lay around and do nothing today." Babies are miniature humans and even born they are born they still have personalities where some days they are more active and others they are lazing about. Heck my 4 month old has had days since she was born where she'd party all day and night and then days where she'd sleep most of the time. Just depends on their mood.

I agree it sounds 100% normal. Your size, babies size, placental position, Etc all affect movement. I was 28 weeks and still didn't feel much movement. I went to the hospital and she was kicking I just couldn't feel it. Even at 39 weeks I still didn't feel her tons. Call your doctor if you are concerned, but you won't feel constant movement yet. Some babies are also more lazy than others and don't like to move a lot. Babies will also have lazy days just like we do and will not move much. If you want to try to get baby to move, drink/eat something sweet and lay on your side but don't be surprised if you still don't feel anything.

Your not actually going to feel constant movement ntil 20+ weeks and even for some that is early. I wouldnt be too concerned right now but if it really bothers you a lot (which it probably would me) I would call your OB and see what they say. Hope this helps and God Bless
