Fetal movement counting

Fetal movement counting is a simple way for pregnant women to monitor their baby's health. It involves counting how often the baby moves within a set period, usually starting around 28 weeks of pregnancy. Typically, women are encouraged to note how many movements they feel in a certain time, like two hours. A noticeable decrease in movements may indicate a potential problem and warrants medical attention. This practice helps ensure the baby's well-being and provides reassurance to the mother. It's a useful, non-invasive way to stay informed about the baby's activity between routine checkups.
