16weeks but no movement yet

Already at my 16th week, and it's my first pregnancy. I read that I should be feeling some movement at this week. What kind of movement should I look out for as I don't have any feel of the movement yet. However I do feel some strain in my belly area. Should I be worried?

The first movements may be felt anywhere from 16-25 weeks, and it’s usually later in the first pregnancy, so there’s nothing to worry about:) the strain is also normal, because your tummy needs to expand more for baby to grow:)
