Go get checked out, and ask for some medication for the nausea. I was taking unisom and b6 earlier in my pregnancy but I was too sleepy to keep up with normal day-to-day activities and at 9 weeks was prescribed zofran, it's worked wonders. Zofran is kind of expensive but it makes a MASSIVE difference. I was too afraid to take it in my first pregnancy (2005) but it's been used for years now without problems.

Baby might be kicking the back of your uterus making it harder to feel. Your baby is still pretty tiny at this point. Some women do not feel movement until after 18-20 weeks. Counting kicks is not recommended until after 25 weeks. Even then babies have lazy days too. Some days they are very active and other days not so much. I have also gotten very nervous about baby. It's impossible not to.worry but try to relax. I personally think a doppler is a great tool to help in these situations. :)
If you are not eating, your glucose may be low and that could also be a contributing factor to less fetal movement. Try to eat small meals throughout the day. It will help with the nausea. If you can't eat at all, a trip to the ob is probably a good idea.
Good luck doll. I hope you feel better soon. :)

Two words- ebay and doppler. For $50 you can have piece of mind. I've only needed to use mine 5 times in 9 months but it is by far the best investment I've made due to saving me trips to the hospital out of fear that something is wrong.

Also, you should never be going any days without eating. Your baby needs the calories now to grow. If you are feeling that lousy you need to work with your doctor to find a solution so you can eat. I was also going to say that at that point in time there would sometimes be several days between feeling kicks for me.

This early on you will feel him at times more than others. That is perfectly normal. If you lay down and are quiet after drinking or eating something sugary you may be able to get him to fidget. Keep in mind at this point baby is still very small and he could have changed to a position which makes it harder for you to feel his kicks.

I think you should visit your midwife or doctor ASAP to get baby checked out...
