Baby movements

Follow your baby’s pattern with a fetal movement counter

Keeping a record of when you feel movement can help you remember your own experience. The app is a logging tool; it does not assess fetal wellbeing or determine why movements have changed.

What is the most useful reference for baby movements?

Movement type and frequency can vary with pregnancy stage, fetal sleep periods, and individual factors. There is greater value in becoming familiar with your own baby's usual pattern than comparing yourself with one generic number.

If your maternity team has given you a specific counting method, use app entries to support that individual plan.

What a fetal kick counter can and cannot do

The counter stores a start time, duration, and movements you add by tapping. These records may help you recall previous sessions, but they are not a fetal monitoring test, do not measure oxygen, and cannot provide clinical reassurance.

Do not wait if movements change

If you think movements have reduced, stopped, or changed noticeably from the usual pattern, do not wait until the next day or for a counter result. Contact your maternity care team or the urgent assessment service they have provided.

Medical information boundary

A fetal kick counter is not a clinical monitoring test. For reduced, stopped, or noticeably changed movements, contact your maternity care team without waiting for an app result.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does a fetal kick counter show that my baby is well?

No. It only records movements you feel. Fetal wellbeing is assessed by healthcare professionals when clinical evaluation is needed.

How many baby movements are normal?

There is no single normal number for everyone. Become familiar with your baby's usual pattern and follow any method provided by your maternity care team.

Should I repeat a count in the app if movements decrease?

If movements are reduced or noticeably different, do not delay by repeating counts in the app. Contact your maternity care team promptly.
