I am twenty weeks and three days and sometimes I can't feel him all day... when I get really worried, I eat something sweet and take a warm (not too hot!) bath. That always wakes him up. I also got a home Doppler {www.babycomusa.com}, because my first was so lazy and sometimes just wouldn't move, so this thing gave me a piece of mind.

I am 21 weeks pregnant, and honestly, the same thing happened to me last week (20 weeks).
I wasn't feeling the baby much before this week, anyway.
Is this your first pregnancy? You really shouldn't expect to feel the baby move for another couple weeks anyway.
That pain is a signal....for you to rest. On one hand, the pain is normal....this is when you really start stretching. The baby is about 1pound now.
On the other hand, additional activity can cause more pains in your ligaments. When you have those pains, sit still/lay down and rest. The pain will subside.
Have you been to your ultrasound yet? If not, it is time to see if it's a boy or girl. I just found out mine's a girl. I swore it would be a boy this time.
Best of luck...I think you'll do fine. Truly, you will really feel your baby a lot in a couple weeks.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant... just a over a week ago my husband and I went to his cousins wedding. We were dancing the night away... my husband, myself and the baby! I swear she didn't sleep a wink the whole time we were there, but the next day hardly a single movement.
Chances are you just over did it a bit and baby is just fine. He just recouping from yesterdays activities, as you should be too.
The advice about having a drink and laying down is exactly what your doctor would tell you to do too. If for some reason you don't feel anything after that, I'd think about calling the doctor.

If you usually feel the baby every day, you should only be worried if he hasn't moved for 24 hours. Until then, try to rest and take a warm bath or other relaxing activities. Don't stress yourself out, babies have on and off days just like we do. If you haven't felt a thing for 24 hours, I would call your doctor even if you have an upcoming appointment, just to let him/her know.

I would go drink a glass of juice and then lay down on your bed. I bet you'll feel the baby move.

try to eat something sweet, drink a glass of milk, and lay down on your side, and you may feel baby move. please don't stress yourself, baby could be fine and stressing yourself out is going to do more harm than good. i hope everything is fine. good luck.
