How to measure baby movement during pregnancy?

There are numerous ways to count your baby movement during pregnancy and numerous opinions on how many movements you are looking for within a certain amount of time. Though strongly recommended for high risk pregnancies, counting fetal movements beginning at 28 weeks may be beneficial for all pregnancies. Most mothers to be eagerly await that first reassuring flutter, just to know their baby is growing and developing. For first time moms, it may occur closer to 25 weeks and for second or third time moms, it may occur closer to 18 weeks. You can begin counting your baby's movements around the seventh month of your pregnancy, around 28 - 30 weeks, and continue until delivery. You can use a notebook of your own or use an infant growth chart to note down your baby’s moments. In a notebook or on your chart, record the time you start, place a check mark for the time of the 10th movement. This will help you observe patterns and discover how long it normally takes for your baby to move 10 times. Try to schedule the kick count during your baby's most active time of day, but also a time when you will be able to record movements over three or four hours, if needed. I hope this answers your question. Good luck!!!
