With my first i didnt show till week 24 and didnt feel baby movement till week 20. And at week 20 that was only like lil lil fish swim slightly. Then in this pregnancy i didnt show up until week 24 again and felt her at week 16.
Usually 2nd time u reconize movements earlier. And if you are concerned then see your doc and ask for hearing fetal heart.

Is this your first? There are several factors that can attribute to you not feeling your little one yet. I was told that First time moms usually don't feel that early, if your placenta is in front it will make feeling it more difficult,  and weight can be a factor too. I did feel my baby at 17 weeks but just little flutters. And alot of people told me they didn't feel theirs until after 20 weeks. And if you are a ftm, you'll take longer to start showing too. I didn't really get a bump until about 22-24 weeks. Then at 28 weeks I exploded lol! Everyone is different so don't worry :) If you are very concerned call your doctor and they can help reassure you too. Congrats!!!
