How to count your baby's kicks
Find a calm moment when your baby is usually active, get comfortable on your side, and tap Record a kick each time you feel a movement. A kick, roll, jab, or flutter all count. The timer runs quietly in the background and tells you how long it took to reach ten.
Getting to know your baby's pattern
Counting over a few days helps you learn what is normal for your baby. Your sessions are saved privately on this device so you can glance back at how long they usually take.
A quiet daily habit
Counting at a consistent time builds a clear picture of your baby's normal movement, so a change stands out. A few days of saved sessions make that comparison easy.
Common questions
When should I start counting kicks?
Movements become more regular from around 28 weeks, which is when many people start paying closer attention to the pattern.
How many movements are normal?
Rather than a fixed number, what matters is your baby's own pattern. A common approach is to notice how long it takes to feel 10 movements, which is often within two hours and frequently much sooner.
What's the best time to count?
Pick a time your baby is usually active, often after a meal or in the evening. Sit or lie on your side somewhere quiet so you can focus on each movement.
What if I don't feel my baby move much?
A clear decrease or change in movement is worth taking seriously and acting on promptly. Counting at the same time each day makes a change easier to spot.
