I asked my midwife about this as I felt all movement was around/below waistband but she said it was normal as baby gets bigger movements will move up.

Any doubts always ask your midwife.

I'm 33 weeks and only really in the past 5 weeks have I started to get the full belly moves :) remember ur baby has tons of space at 20 weeks and the placenta can cushion his higher up movements. If u are really worried tho talk to ur midwife she's there to listen to any of ur worries and soothe them as well. have u had ur scan? Xx

If you think about this it's normal ... your uterus will be felt (at its highest part) around the belly button at 20 weeks, hence baby is always going to be low down at this stage because it's location is low.
