not feeling baby

I am 21 weeks and still haven't felt my baby move. At first I was getting those little baby flutters but those have stopped and I still haven't felt the baby kick or anything. This is my second pregnancy and I'm pregnant with a boy. My first son was very active and always felt him kick and punch. But this one I haven't felt anything...should I be concerned that I still haven't felt his movement?

I am the same as @soontohavetwo. I have an anterior placenta (at the front) so the baby is using the placenta as a cushion so not feeling much at all but he was very active at my scan yesterday. :-)

I'm havind the same issue except I can feel tiny kicks on my sides. I asked dr @ us and she said my placenta is attached at the front of my stomach. Making an extra barrier that I have. She said as the baby gets stronger I should feel more. Good luck!
