When to start monitoring movements ?

Question

How many weeks do you start monitoring kicks ? 21 weeks today baby was really active yesterday today hardly anything ?

Answer

28 weeks!

Answer

I didn’t monitor kicks for either of my first pregnancies. Wasn’t even told to. I wonder if my new homebirth midwife will tell me to. 🤔

Answer

Kick counts aren’t meant to be done every day. 28 weeks is when baby should have a normal movement pattern. If anything with their pattern is off then you would do a kick count. Picking a time of day when they are most active. Drink something cold like water or juice. Lay on your left side and count till you get 10 movements in 1-2 hrs.

Answer

28 weeks is what my doctor said. You want 10 movements in 2 hours (or some doctors say 1 hour). I can't remember if hiccups count though. I have my 28 week appointment next week and was going to ask.

Answer

You dont start monitoring till like 28 weeks or something.
