I'm a medical assistant for an obgyn office and I'm also pregnant. It is normal to not feel movement for a couple days. What you can do is sit in a quit room and drink cold ice water or something with sugar and have your hands on your stomach and feel baby move more. And has long your not having any bleeding either it can be normal.

I honestly hardly had ANY movement up until about 31 weeks, and this is my 2nd child. Some babies are REALLY lazy.. my son kicked constantly, my girl hardly kicks ever, she's just picked up in movement around 34 weeks, it really depends on your baby. I talked to my doctor many times and he said it was completely fine, some babies are just lazy, and she's 100% healthy, measuring in the 85th percentile, she's just a calm one haha

My L&D suggested drinking a really gold soda, eating ice cream, laying down (I feel movement better on my back than on my side) and stay still for about an hour, if you feel anything at all, your baby is fine. You can't expect 10 kicks in an hour at 21 weeks

Yes, it does. When your placenta is in the front that means it's buffering your babies kicks, so unless he kicks really hard, or the right spot, you probably won't feel it, since he's kicking directly at your placenta.

Unfortunately some women don't have any signs that something is wrong with baby they find out at appointment where baby has no heart beat our body for some reason dnt react like we think they should. i am not trying to scare you but it happens. if you have the feeling something is wrong or your worried go get checked dont wait hun you will drive yourself crazy n regret it if something is wrong. you are early still n less movement is likely at this stage docs dnt even have u counting kicks yet but it won't hurt to be on the safe side ( : keep me posted
