Not feeling movements at 20 weeks :/

Question

I'm a first time mom and I'm 20 weeks today. I haven't felt any movements from my baby yet. 
I'm healthy, the baby is healthy. When I go to the docs and have ultrasounds the docs say that my baby is very active and moves a lot. I see it on the screen but haven't actually felt it. Is this normal? Any suggestions?
I'm also having an extremely easy pregnancy. No morning sickness, no cravings, no smells that I can't stand, no nothing. I feel completely normal all 5 months. Which is weird to me. I feel like I should feel something, feel pregnant and I feel nothing. :/
I'm glad to be a having an easy and healthy pregnancy. But I'm kinda sad I don't feel anything yet...?

Don't worry. I'm pregnant with my third child, and supposedly you're suppose to feel the baby move earlier with each pregnancy. That was true with my second child, but not with this one.  I just recently felt this baby move at 23 weeks. So don't worry, you'll soon feel the joy of movement by 25 weeks at the latest..

btw, I'm jealous of your "no symptoms" pregnancy. I've yet to have one of those, lol

I just looked it up.  It's called having a front facing placenta that's why you can't feel anything.

I'm 20 weeks also.  I asked the ultrasound tech about this yesterday.  She showed me because of how my placenta is that I won't feel movement until about 24 weeks.  She said that the placenta is just acting as a cushion right now to all the movement the baby is doing.  So maybe you have the same thing?

You will feel it.. I'm at 22 weeks 4 days and just love the feeling when moves around. Like a flutter more than anything and the periodically the movement is more intense. . You will get there just be patient, its like nothing you have ever experienced. . Good luck..

Just wait a couple of more weeks before you actually feel kicks and movements.  The further along you are the more you feel since they do.grow and eventually have no more free space lol

When i say you will feel that baby moving eventually, believe me, YOU WILL. It just depends on your body and i heard it was normal to not feel anything for up to 24 weeks. But when he or she starts to get crowded in there, you'll feel like theres five babies in there!
