At 16 weeks pregnant, it’s common to feel occasional flutters or small movements that might resemble gas bubbles. These early movements, often known as 'quickening,' can vary greatly among expectant mothers. Some might not feel any movement until later weeks in the pregnancy, so it’s important not to worry if you haven’t felt anything yet. Regular and stronger movements are usually felt around 18-20 weeks.
