Earlier on in pregnancy it can be very difficult to feel the babies movements. Also it depends where your placenta is lieing as that can cushion any movements and you may not feel them at all. If you are concerned then speak to your mw who should be able to listen for a heartbeat at this stage.

I agree with Sam, at this stage it can be very dependant on lots of things. Baby may have turned and is now kicking your back which you wont feel, or the placenta may be blocking it.
Call your MW if you are concerned and they should be able to use the dopla to find a heartbeat and put your mind at rest.
