If you hear the heartbeat, then the baby is fine, some babies sleep alot or just lazy. I went thru the same thing and now my baby moves alot.

You have to have faith. Do you get to hear the heartbeat when you go to the doctor? You probably won't feel kicks for several more weeks, but if you're not cramping or bleeding like crazy then just assume your baby is perfectly healthy and doing its job. Remember to take your prenatals and drink plenty of water. Try not  stress yourself out.

You won't feel anything for a few more weeks. I was like that with my first pregnancy I would wonder if I was even still pregnant. Because I felt nothing and had no symptoms. Just try not to worry and soon that baby will be big enough you're gonna feel all kinds of moving. I remember the first time I felt my son move I had ate a double cheesy burrito from taco bell. He started moving all over and fast I thought he was turning flips inside me it tickled and was so amazing to feel. Just wait you are getting there!!! Congrats and good luck :)

My baby wasn't moving a lot and when I went to the drs. They found that he was in destress because of a placental abruption. My suggestion would be to ALWAYS contact your Dr if you feel something is not right! My baby ended up being 15 weeks premature because of this. If I didn't go to the Dr. My baby prob. Wouldn't have survived.
