Not to worry . You will start feeling things closer to 30 weeks first time babies take longer to feel .

Try a glass of oj and then lay quietly on your left side for approx 20mins. This usually will get them going. Sometimes babies aremore active while we are sleeping and so we don't feel them when we're awake. Hopefully you'll be feeling things soon...usually no later than 22 weeks. If you're worried you could always call your ob. Good luck.
