Strong Kicks at 16 Weeks??

Since around 14w I've been feeling 'flutters' that kind of felt like tiny bubbles popping low down in my abdomen and I thought it could be my baby moving or it could be gas, I wasn't really too sure since this is my first baby. For the past 4 days (16w2d) I've been feeling strong kicks just above my underwear on the right side. I'm 5'6 and around 125lbs but none of my weight has ever been on my stomach or abdomen it just goes straight to my bum and thighs. I put my hand over my belly and put a little bit of pressure on and I could feel the 'kicks' (if they are kicks) through my belly on my hand??
Is this possible or could it just be gas?
When I had my scan at 13w the baby was wriggling around loads.

I had definite kicks with my first at 17 weeks, so I don't see why not! Have you tried swimming? That used to set my boy off and I'd get lots of kicks!

With DC2 I had definite kicks at 17+1 (and I'm, let's just say, rather fuller figured) - could easily be properly kicks.
Try drinking a cold drinks and laying down, see if u out feel anything

I am 16+1 and definitely felt a kick the other night. I've had feelings that I thought were movements but I'm on the chunkier side of life (14-16 pre preg, 16 now)

Proper weirded me out feeling the kick!!
