Ya its pretty normal. At your 20 week scan they may tell you where your placenta is depending on if it's front or back it can make.it harder to feel the movements. The movements don't get more "regular" until later.

My belly usually gets harder around 20 weeks. Bones are starting to form and that makes everything more stiff. I have a softer belly now and look fat not pregnant. It's that awkward stage where people have their suspicions, but what if? Lol I call it the frumpy phase. This is my 8th pregnancy my husband is tall and I'm short and I grow out. I show so much earlier than most! 

This is exactly what these boards are for, questions. Even after many pregnancies I still have questions and get anxious. Congratulations!
