When you start your 3rd trimester, it's time to start counting.
•Count the Kicks every day, preferably at the same time.
•Pick your time based on when your baby is usually active, such as after a snack or meal.
•Make sure your baby is awake first; walking, pushing on your tummy or having a cold drink are good wake-up calls.
•To get started, sit with your feet up or lie on your side. Count each of your baby’s movements as one kick, and count until you reach 10 kicks.
•Most of the time it will take less than a half-hour, but it could take as long as two hours.
•Log your recorded times using our Count the Kicks App or a kick chart.
