Kick Counter
Track your baby's movements and get to know their pattern. Tap the button each time you feel a kick, roll, or swish.
Important: Trust your instincts
If you notice your baby is moving less than usual, or their pattern of movement has changed, contact your midwife or maternity unit immediately.
Don't wait until the next day. Don't use a home doppler. Call your midwife or hospital straight away — they would always rather you called.
Reduced movement can be a sign your baby needs help. Getting checked is always the right thing to do.
Most women start to feel their baby move between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. First-time mums often feel movement a bit later.
By around 24 weeks, you should be feeling your baby move regularly. There's no set number of movements you should feel — what matters is knowing your baby's pattern.
What counts as a movement?
Any movement counts — kicks, rolls, swishes, flutters, or jabs. Hiccups don't count as movements.
The "count to 10" method
Some parents find it helpful to note how long it takes to feel 10 movements. Most babies will move 10 times within 2 hours when active. But remember — every baby is different.
Myths to ignore
- Babies do NOT move less towards the end of pregnancy
- Cold drinks or lying down won't reliably "wake up" a baby who's moving less
- A doppler can't tell you if your baby is well — only a proper check at hospital can
This tool helps you track patterns, but it's not a medical device. Always contact your midwife if you're worried.
