Are you doing the kick count??

Question

At first I didn’t understand it but now I do I just downloaded a app that counts every time the baby moves. I have an active baby he moved more then 10 times in 20 minutes.. I thought at first you have to kick count in 2 hours but it says baby should move 10 times within 2 hours I believe

Answer

I do it only if I’ve noticed she hasnt been as active as usual. 
I only had to do it one day cuz she hadn’t moved like all day so it worries me cuz I have a very hyper and active baby all the time lol.

Answer

I'm only going to do this if it occurs to me that I felt him less.  My Dr said to look for 5 kicks in an hour or 10 kicks in two hours, but only if I feel a need to count.

Answer

It’s ten times in an hour twice. So first hour count ten movements. Then second hour do the same. That’s at least how I’ve been doing it. I obviously don’t do kick counters when I’m caring for patients because I’m moving too much to often notice my little girl bouncing away. But when I sit and rest for a bit she moves al over the place.

Answer

I honestly don't. This baby is lazy and not active half the day, but I don't worry too much. Sometimes I try and sit still and feel movement and as long as I feel a few kicks I stop. Maybe that's bad idk 😞 but I have an anterior placenta and even at 32 weeks can't always feel everything (and I'm pretty small too!)

Answer

I do. My doctor likes to see 10 kicks within 1 hour. It's very important to count movements, as it can truly save your baby's life. My doctor asks ALL her parients to do it. With my first pregnancy, I noticed he only moved 5 times in the hour and called in. They had me come in, and sure enough, something was off. I wasn't high risk and I was having a perfect pregnancy. He had an IUGR and they had to monitor him closely. Definitely do your counts ladies! :)

Answer

I don't. I just make sure i feel him during the times I know he usually is active. I think kick count will make me a bigger nervous wreck than I already am

Answer

I don’t :/ I tried but my baby kicks and turns so much that even counting to 10 takes 5 minutes

Answer

I tried but it stressed me out more than anything else. Now I just try and make sure to monitor a few moving sessions a day.

Answer

You really don't need to unless you are worried or the Dr tells you to. If it helps give you peace of mind then great but it's not necessary. I would only do it if I notice baby isn't n as active.
