Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Stomach pains ,cramps and nausea can be from bad position when you sleep,because when you are pregnant ,baby have it pressure in your stomach lifting it above diaphragma creating these problems you describe .
Lying to sleep could worsen your issue,therefore try to sleep with 2-3 pillows that your head position will be above.
Fetal movements ,Ideally, you want to feel at least 10 movements within 2 hours.
