19 weeks and no fetal movement

I am freaking out a little bit, i am 19 weeks pregnant and I were feeling my son move. Since 2 days ago I haven't felt my son move, I want to know if it normal not to feel your baby move. I called my OB Doctor she stated to me that i need to drink something real cold ans sweet, and I did, and i still didn't feel him move. I drink some orange juice that didn't work, the doctor stated to me that i need to come in and see her. she listen to my son heart beat and she said it was a strong heart beat. she did another sonogram to prove to me it's still to early for me to feel him move. i saw him move and i couldn't feel him. the reason why i where freaking out because i had a still birth child about 10 yrs ago. I couldn't get pregnant  since then.

It will happen. I started feeling mine at 17 weeks.  There was a ton of times that i was making this post even as late as late25 weeks. I thought my baby moved alot before but its true about the 28 weeks business. So try not to worry, always drink something then lay down in peace. If in doubt call your doctor.

i am 20 weeks preg with twins and sometimes a day goes by that i dont feel them move...i have a doppler at home so i pull that out before i call my doc but i asked my ob about it at my last appt and she said that if the baby is facing the back i will not feel the kicks/punches as much

also with my last preg i didnt feel my daughter move until much later on because of the position of my placenta

I wouldn't worry about it at this point. You might not always feel him. I was the same as you scared to death so I went out and bought a doppler so that when I can't feel him I would be able to hear his heartbeat.
