Hi Vijay,
Both the statements are normal at 16weeks of pregnancy.
It means to say that the fetus is lying in an unstable position inside the womb. This happens because it keeps moving a lot inside the mother's womb. It will attain a steady position at 32 weeks. Do not worry about this.
The pregnancy is going smooth to both the mother and the baby.
Hope this helps.
