Having a hard time..

I'm 16 weeks today and Some days my stomach is popping and hard (when I stand) and I actually get excited I have a little bump. Some days I feel like I have movement going on too that reassure me he's fine and hearts still beating! I've had a couple miscarriages and this is as far as I've ever gotten and some days I do not feel pregnant at all. I started out with a little pudgy belly and sometimes when I lay on my back that's all I feel. I guess I'm just nervous when I don't have obvious signs he's doing okay! I don't have an appointment till August 3rd so I won't know until then. Does anyone feel or going through the same thing? I get random mild cramping and that always puts fear in me. I guess I just like knowing if what I'm feeling is normal!!!

    I'm 16 wks on Weds, I'm yet to have a single symptom other than bloat. I haven't felt any movement. My appointment isn't until Aug 12. I wouldn't worry if I were you - easier said than done. But think positive thoughts, it's good for the baby.

    I'll be 16w in Wednesday too... I think you are stressing yourself out over nothing. Baby won't always kick and squirm ... They have quiet days too. Today is probably the most active I felt baby. Other than that I got pokes here and there and it depends how much you eat. Do you eat a lot and your belly gets hard?

    TMI but after I eat it's hard as a rock. if I'm hungry or went to the bathroom it gets a little smaller.

    I don't eat "a lot" cause since I've been pregnant I haven't been able to eat like I used too. But by the end of the day it's definitely bigger than when I started out in the morning. I know I'm not going to feel him move all day everyday but I still have worries since I've lost them before. This is all new to me and I like making sure I'm going through the same thing as other first time moms.

    I am a FTM, haven't had any previous miscarriages, but I understand the nervousness. I am currently 14w4d, next appointment is August 6th so have a bit of a wait until then. I think that how you are feeling is perfectly normal but try not to worry. My little bump comes and goes throughout the day, I now don't have any symptoms, and I probably still have a few weeks before I feel baby moving around but once that starts happening it will be a reassuring sign. I'm sure you will start to feel baby moving around a lot more by the end of the month. Are you having an ultrasound at your next appointment?

    I'm 16 weeks and. 2 days today I felt my first kicks today which was shocking to me I was excited! Cramping is normal it's only bad if it's accompanied with bleeding I have a noticeable bump SO loves to rub it it's starting to firm up a bit. I'm excited we get to see the sex of the baby August 13
