theres really not a big need to worry about movements until 28 weeks..that is why doctors usually suggest starting kick counts at 28. at this point in your pregnancy the baby is still small and movements can be masked because of the baby's position. also i felt the same way several times when i was pregnant.
there would be days where my baby didn't move much and i would get worried...i think i posted a few questions on here about it! i know its always scary no matter what people tell you.
but i can tell you my baby was just fine; she's laying on my chest right now sleeping :) and im sure yours will be also.

Hello! First of all, congrats on your pregnancy! Secondly, don't stress yourself. When I was pregnant i felt the same way, my doc assured me that it was really in my mind! But to rest easy, I rented a doppler to listen to her heartbeat.  If you don't do that, i WOULD VISIT MY DOCTOR JUST TO EAS MY MIND! bEST OF LUCK TO YOU WITH THE REST OF YOUR PREGNANCY!

Every baby is different, and just as we have days where we don't feel like doing much, so do babies.  As long as you are feeling some movements then everything is most likely fine.  I'm almost 28 weeks on my 8th pregnancy (6th to make it out of the first trimester) and I can tell you that each one of my babies had different movement patterns.  If you are ever concerned becuase the baby isn't moving try laying on your side for a while.  If that doesn't work, eat and drink something cold.  If after awhile that doesn't get the baby moving you can always call your ob to see what he/she would like you to do.
