How are you guys counting kicks/movement?

Question

I kind of know my baby’s pattern—active in the morning and at night, and regular kicks and movement here and there throughout the day.

Answer

Seems like everyone says something different. Dr. says that if I've just had a meal or snack and sit down I should feel 10 movements within 2 hours. She said I should start keeping track at 28 weeks. I'm 31+4 and haven't worried about it too much because he moves plenty. I'm getting 10 movements in like a half hour or less usually lol.

Answer

At least 10 movements with in a hour it cant be anything from hiccups to baby rolling over kick jabs and thing as long as baby moves

Answer

I just commented somewhere else, my OB just told me today.. as long as there is 1 very active time in a 24 hour period then not to worry about counting every hour. Every baby has a different pattern.

Answer

Count the kicks app, it is free and easy!

Answer

I never count unless I go a long while without feeling him...
I feel him every few hours so I know be fine and well

Answer

I haven’t counted kicks yet 😳 I’m reading that I should be but my doctor never mentioned it and I don’t want to become paranoid with it

Answer

My doctor told me not to worry about kick counts until like 34-36 weeks.

Answer

I haven't needed to count. This kid won't sit still. 😂

Answer

I use the app Count the Kicks. It says to do it once a day but I do it in the morning and at night just because I like to see the patterns. It has you click every time you feel movement and times how long it takes to get to 10. It then shows you a graph of the pattern over time.

Answer

10 movements within 20 minutes is the goal, but if it takes longer than an hour I’m supposed to call my doctor.  Starting kick counts today at 28 weeks.
