I think it feels tickly but some times its felt like a bump or maybe like a tap I just wonder what ill feel several weeks from now when the baby is stronger with harder bones!

Mine never felt like flutters. It always felt like I was being thumped or flicked from the inside or like bubbles in my belly like when you submerge a bottle underwater :)

If you don't have a book to read I suggest "what to expect when expecting" u can get it at walmart for about 12$ and it has alot of details about the progress of your baby!

When I was prego with my 5yr old the first time I felt him move literally felt like butterflies in my stomached. Now I will admit If you are feeling your baby move at 16 weeks I AM JEALOUS!!! I'm almost 17 weeks and haven't felt this one yet!!

Im 14 weeks and I've felt my baby! Not very often yet but I normally do when im very still and especially when I wake in the middle of the nite and trying to go back to sleep :) it feels like little flutters and my baby is still lowerer in my tummy but im not sure at 16 weeks of a babies location I know at one point the uterus moves upward closer to your belly button :)
