Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start counting kicks?
Standard medical advice is to start counting your baby's kicks and movements daily starting at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
What counts as a kick?
Any movement you feel—kicks, flutters, swishes, jabs, or rolls—counts as a movement. Hiccups do not count.
How many kicks is normal?
You should aim to feel 10 movements within a 2-hour window. Most women reach this goal in less than 30 minutes when the baby is active.
What if I don't feel 10 kicks in 2 hours?
Drink something very cold or eat a sugary snack, lie down on your left side in a quiet room, and try again. If you still don't feel 10 movements, or if you notice a significant decrease in your baby's normal movement pattern, contact your doctor or maternity unit immediately.
