Well if your feeling flutters thats movement  Have you had a ultrasound and heard the heartbeat? Usually as you are pregnant longer the movements will become more noticable and harder. I had a test done where they put straps across your belly to monitor movement and it is recorded on a computer print out some i never even felt but the lines showed it was moving!!!

some women don't feel kicks until 24 weeks or so, I was almost that when i first felt a real kick....  Don't worry.

I am almost 22 weeks and haven't felt the baby kick yet either. I went in for my ultrasound and everything checked out great. The nurse told me that the placenta is in the front and probably absorbing a lot of the pressure from the kicking. Maybe you have a similar situation. As long as the baby checks out okay on the heartbeat monitor and ultrasound, you have nothing to worry about. :)
