This is one of those things that drove me crazy during my 1st pregnancy. My daughter moved very little. Everyone asked constantly about her movement and I actually started making things up! She was so calm. I occassionally felt little kicks and movement, but it was by no means constant or countable. She is now an amazing (and active) 3 year old, perfect in every way! I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but she was a very easy baby though. She was not a fusser and slept through the night at 8 weeks! Good luck!
