He moves but not too much during the day
I felt all his little body once then he stop moving that's why I was really stress cuz the movement was strong
I was lthinking
he's gonna start moving more now
Then after that he stop moving

This is my first baby and im right at 23 wks and just a few days ago was I like whoa whoa thats him LOL i been going nuts too!! my friend suggested putting a klennex box on my belly to see if he would move it well i didnt have that but i found the next best thing a long light weight book i stuck it right in the middle of my belly and laid on my back and it started quivering!! I got so excited and then i started feeling the kicks once you get that down you ll know exactly when the baby is moving! I can so tell now how active he is its here and there through out the day and mostly at night but im so glad to be feeling something! Give it a try it at worked for me!

What r u having my baby is really lazy
I'm having a boy and I was Worried
I would lay down in the bed with my belly up
Then I would move to my left side and to my right side and nothing
That night I went to sleep till 3:30 am
I found out he wakes up at night  and that's when he's more active
I'm 22 weeks due june8
I was really stress :)

Dont worry!  Sometimes it takes longer to feel their movements and some babies dont move much at all.  It's also likely that you could be feeling it and not know it.  I had to watch the sonogram of mine to know that was what I was feelin.

Basically my placenter is right infringe of the baby so when she kicks its like kicking a pillow. One woman who had it said she never really felt it kick.

I have a front facing placenta, and a bit over weight as well. My little guy mostly only let's me feel him when I lay on my belly and annoy him. The movements feel very slight like muscle twitches. Lately he's between letting me feel him more without having to do that. I'm 21 Weeks so not too far behind you. I went nuts trying to feel him, and as soon as I found ou my placenta was in front just let it be. I figured I wouldn't feel him for a while. then I started to feel it at 20 Weeks.
