Monitor baby's health: Regular movement indicates baby is getting enough oxygen and nutrition
Peace of mind: Daily counting helps you stay connected with your baby
Early detection: Changes in movement patterns can indicate potential issues
Learn patterns: Each baby has their own activity schedule
When to Count
After meals, in the evening, or when baby is typically active. Choose a consistent time each day.
Position
Lie on your left side or sit comfortably. This position optimizes blood flow to the baby.
What Counts
Kicks, rolls, punches, turns, and hiccups all count as movements. Even small movements matter.
When to Start
Begin regular counting around 26-28 weeks when movements become more predictable.
