nervous about baby

I'm 20 weeks and 1 day today, I keep having these dreams and thoughts that something is wrong with my baby. I go in to find the sex of the baby next Wednesday . I also havent felt the baby so idk if that's why I'm freaking out. Idk what to do, last month I went to the doctors and the heat rate was great 160bpm.

Lauren,
I once dreamed my son (now ten) was an egg, which I laid, and that he cracked.  Strange and scary pregnancy dreams are normal.  Don't fret.  

Polgara,
Since you are a FTM, not feeling movement at 20 weeks is probably okay.  By 24 weeks, you should be feeling baby.  Talk to your OBGYN.  You should be getting an ultrasound around now- so hopefully you can see some movement at that exam.  FTM sometimes can't feel movement as well.

Im sure its normal, some women if they are FTMs dont feel movement til as far as 24-26wks. I bet you will feel a lot better at your appointment/US! Good luck!
