What is the kick rule?

Question

Is it 10 an hour? After 28-30 weeks?? Baby isn't as active as normal, so I'm trying to  track them this morning.

Answer

My OB said to pick her most active time of day (before bed for me) and try to count 10 kicks in an hour. If not drink some juice and see if that gets her going.

Answer

Hmm I thought it was 10 over 2 hours lol godknows! My midwifes advice was - every baby is different get to know your babies normal pattern & routine & how active they are and if anything changes then call and get checked out! Xxx

Answer

I don't even check. Baby girl has her own routine. If she isn't moving and I get worried I have a piece of fruit(something sweet )and then lay down.

Answer

Maybe I should count. I don't feel her every hour but when I don't I have something with sugar makes her move but I never count kicks

Answer

I was told 6 in one hour or 10 in two hours.

Answer

Wow, the variation of "correct" counts given by everyone's healthcare practitioners really makes me doubt this is a useful metric

Answer

10 movements in an hour after 28 weeks. Doesn't have to be every hour.  Pick a time when baby is usually active, lay on the couch and count the movements until you reach 10 or 60 minutes

Answer

I was told 10 per day not an hour although when she is active she goes crazy and it's loads more than 10
Xx

Answer

I was told 10 in 2 hours at the most active time of day (like right after I eat)

Answer

My doc said pick the same time every day, 10 movements in 2 hours or call L&D
