Kick counts

Kick counts are a simple way for pregnant individuals to monitor their baby's activity inside the womb. By gently counting how many times the baby moves over a specific period—usually starting around 28 weeks—they can ensure the baby is active and healthy. Typically, a healthy fetus moves several times a day, and noticing a change or decrease in movement can be a sign to consult a healthcare provider. This practice helps monitor the baby's well-being and provides reassurance that their development is progressing normally.
