It is a little early to perceive the movement, don’t worry, she will get the hang of it around 18-20 wks ,
check with your doctor if the heart rate is okay .

Many a time to perceive fetal movement at 16 weeks is bit difficult ! Wait for 2 to 4 weeks and surely you should feel. Ultrasound says all is well .Consult in case after 4 weeks you do not feel movements.
