it depends on your body, and your placenta. sometimes people don't feel their baby kick until they're around 23-24 kicks, and even then it's not much. you should be alright though, you're still too early to be doing kick counts. usually kick counts start at 28 weeks. but don't stress yourself out, cause it's not good for you & baby. just relax and if it persists, ask the doctor if everything is okay. I'm sure baby is just sleeping a ton! :)

I didn't have a lot of movement at 20 weeks. I really didn't get a whole lot of movement until closer to 23 weeks. Every baby is different. Now if you are really concerned ask the doctor if you should count kicks. I am sure everything is fine and you are like I was as a FTM worried about everything. I
