Are you sure it's not gas/bloating/ constipation or diarrhea? I'm also 16 weeks, and last night I thought for sure I was starting a period and/or losing my baby. It ended up being a combo of constipation followed by diarrhea, and it had taken the whole day to work itself out. Gross!!! Anyhow, this morning I feel just fine.
