When and why should I count my daughters kicks? How do I do it? Do I count how many times she has…

I think they need to kick 5 times in one hour or so

ask your doctor, mine isn't having me count until 28 weeks

@ftm2babyc Oh Okay! Well then I've got plenty of time before I start worrying about that.

It's normally in the 3rd trimester when they start having you do it but I did it beforehand. You have to lay down with your feet up, drink something cold or eat something sweet. Popsicles have always made my son move super quick! But anyways, once you lay down try to focus on kicks. You should feel 10 in 2 hours. If not call your doc

@tmariewein Thank you!!

it's 10 kicks an hr but you don't do it till 26 weeks and up.

My doctor says to do a kick count 3 times a week after 26 weeks.
