Count the kicks

Count the Kicks is an organization whose goal is to educate expectant parents about the importance of tracking baby movements during pregnancy. Once you reach the third trimester, it is very important to start paying attention to the movements of your little one. Knowing what’s normal for your baby helps you notice when a possible change in their movements occur.

  1. Track your baby's movements with the FREE Count the Kicks app or download a Count the Kicks chart at countthekicks.org.
  2. Count kicks every day -- preferably at the same time.
  3. Time how long it takes your baby to get to 10 movements.
  4. After a few days, you will begin to see a pattern for your baby.
  5. Alert Myrtue’s Birthing Center or your maternity provider immediately if a change in movement occurs (this may be the earliest or only sign that your baby needs medical attention).
