Pregnancy Week 16: Signs And Symptoms

You may experience what feels like a few gas bubbles in your lower abdomen. It’s really difficult to tell but this could actually be the early movements of your baby!

Don’t worry though if you can’t feel your baby moving just yet. Some mothers do not feel their baby’s movements until almost week 24. This could be due to various reasons – excessive fat around the abdomen, excessive amniotic fluid, an anterior positioned placenta or a very busy mum-to-be who missed paying attention!

You may generally be feeling a lot better about your pregnancy as you have less mood swings and fewer bouts of nausea. Other people will also start complimenting you on your ‘glowing’ complexion!
