I understand your concerns and will do my best to answer your questions.

What you are describing is normal and healthy for almost everyone. Many moms don't feel any movement until 20 to 24 weeks. Many moms don't feel movement regularly until 24 weeks. Many moms don't 'show' until then as well. If the ultrasound was fine and they can hear the baby's heartbeat at your check-up, your baby is almost certainly fine. The baby will probably be kicking up a storm in just a few weeks.
Some women will have bleeding that seems like a period off and on throughout the pregnancy. No one knows why but it usually doesn't mean anything bad. Again, if the ultrasound and check-ups are ok, almost for sure the baby is fine.
Best of luck with the pregnancy and I hope that helps.
