Kicks Count!

Counting your baby’s kicks during your last trimester of pregnancy is a great way for you and your partner to bond with your baby. By making a conscious effort to perform a kick count at the same time every day, you can also help your doctor monitor your baby’s health. What your baby is telling you with its kicks is important!

Doctors recommend that parents start counting and keeping track of their baby’s kicks beginning in the 28th week of pregnancy. By doing this every day, you will get to know what the normal pattern for your baby is within a week or two. By using a kick count chart, you and your doctor will be able to tell if there are any changes in your baby’s normal pattern. Studies show that a significant decrease in your baby's normal pattern could be a signal that there’s a problem.

Kicks Count is a simple, inexpensive and helpful way to monitor
your baby’s health!
