Some times you wont feel puppies moving, sometimes it takes an 'experienced' hand to feel them, so to speak!

- Did you have a scan? & like suggested above if worried - contact your vet.

have they stopped moving when they previously were or have you never felt movement? Your post isn't very clear. I would contact the vet it isn't worth risking your bitches welfare on asking questions on a forum.

I've never actually felt them move because I was told you don't start feeling this until about one week before hand but I've been holding her belly the last week and haven't felt anything her temp seems to have dropped from 38.4 to 37.7 tonight she is just laying down sleeping as it's midnight here but seems to be breathing rapidly

Are you sure she is actually pregnant??? if so then its possible she is only carrying one puppy especially as you say she has a little belly,in that case any movement could easily be missed.
I usually start to feel movement a couple of weeks before the due date,as the date approaches i can see movement no problem.
I'd take her to the vets for a check up if i was you,just to be on the safe side

around day 50 you generally feel movement. Did you get her scanned at all? I would say the temp will drop alot more yet prob to about 36.5 ish.... but if you are worried then the best thing is to call your vet or have your mentor look at her

Here is a picture of my girl (tibetan terrier).. this was taken on day 54 - Scan showed she has 5 poss 6 babies. I'm feeling lots of movement.
I would see you vet to make sure 1) she is defo preggers and 2) rule out a single puppy with a scan
