20 weeks not much movement

Hi everyone.  This is my first post but I have been on here for a while.  I am 20+2 weeks pregnant with my 5th. I hardly ever feel the baby move.  
With my other 4 (all boys) I felt them early and often. The ultrasound tech said my placenta is in the front so that's why I don't feel much. This happening to anyone else?

every women is different.. alot of women dont feel movements till they are 28wks.. my boy use to miss 24hrs every week.. 3 days very slow thumps and 3 days very active till 27wks.. i still cant tell whether he is awake or sleep. :)... so its pretty normal...

Thanks!  It's just reassuring to hear from someone else having the same thing going on...just can't wait to feel this little one.

This is my 4th and my placenta is at the front too. I didn't start to feel any movement at all until about 22 weeks! At about 25 weeks I felt a lot of movement and still do. Occasionally I will see my belly move slightly and not feel it but I feel most of the movement now. The movements did quite down for a week as he changed position but it's all normal.
