I felt movement when I was 20 weeks on and off asked my doctors and they said due to how much the baby is growing still it sleeps a lot of the day away. You should be fine and feel more when baby is a bit better

I only started feeling my son around 24weeks. It depends how your baby is lying and where your placenta is also.

Yes it's normal. Baby will have some periods of movements n some periods of rest. Now if u don't feel any type of movement after 3 days go get checked.

That's normal! The baby is still quite small, so you might not feel him/her all the time!

Yes, that's normal. There is no standard number for how often you should feel the baby at this point -- in fact not feeling the baby at all by 20 weeks is still within normal range.

I think the position of the baby will determine how much you feel him/her move more than anything else.

I'm at 21 weeks and I just feel every so often also. But as long as I'm feeling something I know he's ok. He's still tiny and I'm a little heavy so I am not shocked I don't feel him a ton yet. My daughter was the same way. Soon it will be none stop.
