concerned/curious pregnant woman

i have a few questions about my pregnancy..
1. Im currently 16 weeks and 2 days pregnant, the past week i been feeling flutters and stomach twisties but for the past 2 days now i haven't been feeling anything, should i be worried?
2. when i was 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant, my OB measured my baby at 4 inches then, when i been reading that roughly the average baby doesnt reach 4 inches until 15 weeks, how much bigger do you think my baby is now 2 weeks later when she seemed to be already a half inch ahead of a average growing baby?
3. How would i know if something was wrong with my unborn baby if i dont go get ultrasounds that often?

okay thanks you guys! this is my first child and I'm just worrying too much! i was just liking the flutters and getting use to them that i wasn't used to not feeling anything anymore lol. Thanks again you guys! now i can relax!

Your baby is so tiny right now that you won't feel him as often as when you get father along. And the measurements can be off right now, and the readings are just an average but your baby doesn't need to match up exactly :) & even off base, some women only get two sonograms unless there is a concern. That happened to me, so I have my third next week

1. No you shouldnt be worried you are still early on its normal not too feel constant movement
2. Not every measurement reading is accurate, your baby could be growing perfectly fine, if they have concerns they will schedule an ultrasound
3. Im not sure what you referring to when you say 'something was wrong'.. If there is something seriously wrong with bub like you have a still born than your body will be in a lot of pain.. If youre talking about what if my baby has a disease or something there isnt much you can do until you give birth

okay ill call and see what they think! i have a appointment next tuesday with my OB but there is no ultrasound scheduled just a checkup. because im married to a marine and my hospital is on his military base and they only do 2 ultrasounds during a whole pregnancyZ!

Hello I'm am also 16 weeks pregnant, but when I was pregnant with my daughter she did that same thing so I called my doctor and told her about my concern and they fit me in for an appointment as soon as possible and I'm glad they did cuz you never know what could go wrong.
