First, I don't know much about those tests, I chose not to do them.  But I don't think they are 100% accurate. Try not to stress, maybe your focus has been on the test so much that you haven't noticed the movements, they start small and subtle at first. Maybe try to change your focus onto something else, like learning about t21. That's what I'm trying to do, I probably have a high chance for that. I already have one child with autism, and keep worrying that this child could have autism, or t21. And I'm not prepared he/she has t21. So I am just trying not to focus on the possibility itself, but rather focus on learning about it. I have a friend who has a son with t21 they live a very happy life.  Go check a site Noah'sdad. I hope the very best for you and your baby!

I got my 20 week ultrasound done & the ultrasound tech said to me "you should be feeling the baby move any day now"...went home and I haven't stopped feeling him move since I'm now 36 weeks! Lol & I'm not a FTM either..each baby is different so give or take a couple weeks from others experience
