Our 9 Months

As pregnancy progresses, it is recommended that you keep track of your unborn baby’s kick counts from the sixth month of pregnancy, as a way of making sure that he/she is OK.

Everyday, do time how long it takes for your baby to make 10 kicks, flutters, swishes, or rolls. You should feel at least 10 movements within two hours, but you will probably feel that many movements in a much shorter amount of time.

Jot the details in a notebook to record the time that you feel each kick, flutter, swish, or roll, until your baby has made 10 movements. You may start to notice patterns and a general length of time that baby usually takes to make 10 movements. If you notice major deviations from the pattern, check with your health care provider.
