Kick count question: are you supposed to feel 8-10 kicks EVERY hour of the day or just at some point in the day within an hour?

Question

Answer

I was told to pick  two times a day when the baby is most active. I usually do in the morning and before bed. And I'll do my kick counts. I usually have no problem getting him to move, but a few times I've had to drink some juice or eat a snack to wake him up. 
I definitely don't feel him move 10 times every hour of the day, but I'm moving a lot and not really paying attention so maybe he is 🤔

Answer

Straight from my doctor.

Answer

How exhausting it would be to have to count every hour! I would never get any work done.

Answer

You choose a time that baby is normally active and do them then. When they are "quiet" they are most likely sleeping so you won't get them. Oh and you are supposed to do them about the same time each time so you can compare. So for example 7pm each night.

Answer

My kiddo is very active so I don't do the kick counts
