Q: What are kick counts?
A: They're a way to track baby's movements after 28 weeks to be sure your pregnancy is progressing as expected.

Q: How do I count them?

  1. Check the time. 
  2. Count each time you feel baby kick, jab, roll or flip.
  3. When you count 10 movements, check the time again. 
    10 movements in an hour or less is normal, though sometimes it will take longer.
  4. Repeat twice a day!

Q: What if my baby is moving less than that?
A: Don't worry. Try:

  • Changing position
  • Eating a snack
  • Drinking some fruit juice

Call your doctor or midwife if you're concerned.
