If you're concerned this would be a question for your doctor.

Might be the location of the placenta.  I remember when my SIL went in for her a/s so 20 or so weeks, she still had not felt movement and this was her third baby.  Turns out the placenta was in the front.

Totally normal. I didn't feel movement (or at least I didn't realize I was) the first time around until our A/S at 19 weeks when I saw DS move and felt it at the same time. Always bring up concerns to your doc, but don't stress too much as pp said 16-22 weeks is normal and you're well within that range.

I got a bit worried as well, then almost right at the 20 week mark I felt movement and shortly after some kicking.

Look out for the signs, like a fluttering feeling in your stomach because at first I didn't even realize it was the baby!

This! I had my A/S yesterday and I asked the tech if I happen to have an anterior placenta. She looked at me a bit odd and asked why I asked. I told her I hadn't felt much of anything (until about 2 days ago). When she looked, she said sure enough it was.

I am 22 weeks tomorrow and just started feeling flutters this week. I wouldn't worry.

When I was around 20 weeks I had the same concern.  I couldn't feel my baby move and I wasn't sure what to expect, being a first time mommy myself.  The ultrasound came back positive, but the fact that I couldn't have an ultrasound everyday still made me nervous, because I still couldn't feel him move at 22 weeks.  It was about 23-24 weeks where I started getting any real action in my belly.  More like intense butterflies. Doctors that I have talked to said that everyone carries different. No one mommy is alike!  So it could be today that you feel something or several weeks from now.  From my experience..don't panic unless you have a real reason too.  You have enough to be thinking about getting everything ready for your new family member.  Hope everything works out

No worries it will happen soon

My wife and I have a Doppler that lets us listen to the heartbeat.  I'm not sure how much they cost (a friend gave us hers), but any time my wife is feeling sick and starts getting nervous about the baby, it gives us peace of mind to be able to hear that the baby's little heart is still beating in there.

I felt absolutely no movement at 19 weeks with my first baby. I finally started to feel flutters at 21 weeks. Doc said it was normal.
