How did you feel at 16 weeks?

I am going to my 16 week check up today, but am worried, because I feel normal and don't feel pregnant..  I don't have a bump yet.. How did you all feel at 16 weeks....

durhamjk is right, basically during most of your second trimester until the end of it, you won't really feel pregnant until you feel the baby kicking all the time and begin to experience the joys of heartburn and all those associated things that go with it.

They call this time period the "honeymoon" period in pregnancy, b/c it is so easy.  Enjoy it!  I started feeling normal - and then all of sudden a baby bump popped out of no where and little boy started kicking me.

after you finish that 1st trimester and move into the 2nd, the awful sickness and symptoms caused by the hormones start to go away because your hormone levels begin to drop. It is normal and you will feel prego again very soon as that belly grows andstarts moving...

I think between weeks 13 and 19 were the worst for me.. Because you dont feel pregnant because all of the beginning symptoms start going away a little bit and you cant feel the baby kick yet so its scary.. I actually started feeling him kick early.. I think it was like about 17 weeks so then when I didnt feel him kick the next week I freaked out and went to the ER lol which seems dumb to me now considering how tiny he was and I was lucky to feel him that early.. but anyway.. Its normal to feel "not pregnant" when your kind of "in between" dont worry soon you will start feeling little flutters and kicks and then your belly will grow almost overnight.. just give it a few weeks.. Good luck at your appointment! :D
