Is my baby moving enough?

You'll start feeling your baby's kicks at around the 28th week of pregnancy. By this time, your baby's movements are usually well established and some health care providers recommend keeping track of these movements.

• Track kick counts at about the same time each day when your baby is active.
• Track kick counts shortly after you've eaten a meal (when your baby may be most active).
• Sit or lay on your side, place your hands on your belly and monitor baby's movement.
• Mark every movement down on a piece of paper. Don't count baby's hiccups.

Keep counting until you've felt 10 movements from baby. If baby doesn't move 10 times within 1 hour, try again later that day. Call your health provider if your baby's movement seems unusual or you've tried more than once that day and can't feel baby move 10 times or more during 1 hour.
