How many actually log how long it takes to get 10 kicks? I read the best time to do it is when the…

My feelings of him only increased as he got bigger. If you can’t get movement or just want to count movement, drink a cold glass of water, ice water is better, and lay on your left side. That gets them moving. If you do that for an hour and nothing happens, then it’s time to go in.

What @girlmom. Said that and if that worried cold glass of water or something very sugary baby will start kicking or put something cold on your belly also as you get further along baby will slowly start moving around because I'm not having enough room but every baby is also different.

@penelope127 I started doing the kick counting and I did do the ice water right after I ate dinner and she was busy! She just doesnt move as much threw out the day.. so am I supposed to feel 10 movements EVERY hour?

@kendrab, I didn’t have 10 movements every hour. Once your up and moving around, say walking in a grocery store, the amniotic fluid makes them sleep. But say if your sitting watching tv for awhile, and notice you haven’t felt baby then start counting. Mines especially busy when I’m trying to sleep, because the fluid isn’t moving around.

@penelope127 that's great to hear!! Because usually when I'm relaxing or trying to sleep is when she starts going but I dont relax too much threw out the day so def makes me feel better thanks a bunch!

My doctor told me 6 kicks a hour I believe and it’s all at different times so a bunch of kicks at once counts as one

I don't count I never have the doctor say as long as you feel them threw out the day they are fine. Its 10 kicks in 2 hours or 5 an hour. And no its not EVERY you have to get 5 as long as you get at least 10 a day their also fine. My baby is awake and moving when I move and sleeps with me all baby's are different and some are just lazy but perfectly healthy

But if you absolutely feel no kicks no stretching or rolling/ turning or hiccups the whole day even at night go in ASAP

I don’t do the kicks because my daughter isn’t active all day long . I do feel her through the day but it’s not all day she has times throughout the day where it’s her play time and times when she’s barely or not moving . My son was the same never counted cause he wasn’t always active throughout the day long as I know my baby has been active throughout the day is fine with me . And long as I can get her to move when need be I’m okay
