kick counts?

Question

i’ve been told to start thinking about kick counts by my midwife but i don’t feel the need to as i feel him a lot through the day, should i still do them or only if i don’t feel him as much?

Answer

I didnt do daily kick counts. But I did pay attention to movement and if I wasnt feeling much then I would relax, drink something cold and do some kick counting.

Answer

I didn't do them with my daughter. I got to know her movement schedule and if she ever wasn't moving as much as I thought she should then I'd pay close attention and drink something cold or sweet to get her moving. I think the most important thing is that baby is moving regularly. If you think things are too slow, then do a count. My daughter was never still enough to worry about (and she still isn't 😂). I'm taking the same approach for this pregnancy.

Answer

I didnt do kick counts personally. Mine always moved to much for it. If I dont feel baby as much as usual I just get out the doppler and check his heartbeat.

Answer

You shouldn't really do kick counts until 28 weeks because baby is still sporadically moving.
