But every doctor is different

Once you have have 10 you can stop.

Yeah it's usually later that you start. But I would ask them exactly how they want you to do it because my hospital says 10 kicks/movements in a day. But @babyhill was told 10 in an hour. It's weird how different hospitals are. Just get to know your baby's moving pattern.

@klachappelle,

yeah. they asked me if I could feel her kick and I said I had just started feeling her. and they said to make sure to count her kicks but didn't tell me exactly what that meant.

@kairismommy12.15.15, They told you to start already? Usually it isn't until 28-30 weeks.

so count to ten. if I don't get to ten within an hour then what? @babyhill

My doctor told me the easiest way is after you eat lay on your side and count for a hour. If it's 10 for that hour or after 30 mins then you are good to go.
