Avatar n tn is ok if my baby have only one period in a day when he moves more ? in the morning or in the evening never the same...
Avatar f tn He doesn't pass his kick counts.
Avatar m tn If any of you have started doing fetal kick counts what your average for the 30 minutes????
Avatar f tn re moving the rocking motion lulls the baby to sleep, so when you stop moving they wake up and are active. This is also why when you do kick counts in later pregnancy you should do them when you're not moving all over the place.
Avatar n tn I was recommended doing kick counts twice a day, should feel 10 movements within an hour. If you don't, or are concerned, drink some juice and lay on your left side and try again. I'm pretty sure it's standard to start doing this by 28 weeks.
Avatar f tn You're not at the point where you're supposed to do 'fetal kick counts' - so if they found a heartbeeat and said things were fine - I'd try and relax. I'm at 34 weeks and this is the first time I've made it this far. I am by NO means an expert at this. I have found for me personally I've just had to trust in the doctors and take things as they come. If you do an on-line search for fetal kick counts - see what comes up.
7552771 tn?1469929649 Never did them with my first. I was never even told to or knew what they were. To be fair I was only 17 so wasn't sure of much but the doctor never mentioned it either. But this time my midwife just told me I need to be doing them. So I just downloaded an app typed in kick counter and the app is called kick me it has two little pink feet print. It was super easy to use and not as confusing as I thought it would be haha.
Avatar f tn Are any of you doing kick counts? My ob has not discussed this with me, but I have been doing these on my own, informally. But how many times a day do you do this, and when should you be concerned? My baby seems to have some days when he's very active and moving all day, and some days when he's just active in the morning and night, and quiet in the afternoon. So, I don't have any real pattern to go by.
Avatar m tn My wife is in her 30th week now and 2 weeks ago at her ultrasound they found that her amniotic fluid was lower then it should be so they scheduled her for another ultrasound this week but also asked her to do kick counts. She has been keeping track in the morning like they told her to, but also trying to keep track during the day also. Do you think by doing the kick counts throughout the day is excessive?
Avatar f tn I wouldnt' worry, I think its ridiculous that your Ob said 10 movements EVERY hour. First of all like msteri said, it's not logical...babies dont' move 24 hours a day. Second, you would get NOTHING else accomplished doing kick counts EVERY hour. I've had 2 pregnancies where I was told to do kick counts and 3 where I wasn't. Just keep doing what you're doing and everything should be fine.
404232 tn?1253965956 So my OB has asked me to start doing kick counts three times a day. I didn't think it was a big deal but I never had to do them with my first pregnancy. Anyways the sheet says to do it at the same time everyday at the babies most active time of day and if there are less than 10 kicks (twists, turns rolls ect..) in two hours you are supposed to call your physician and/or report to the ER. Does anyone else do this and how accurate can it be?
Avatar f tn When do you start doing kick counts im 18 wks 2nd child & i hardly feel my bby move if i do its very light
Avatar f tn So they told me to spend an hour doing kick counts, which I just finished doing. I got to ten kicks in just over 45 min. I know they said within and hour but I still feel like this is slow movement for her. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Anyone do kick counts? What's a good number?
Avatar f tn My doctor gave me a chart to do kick counts ever day when I hit 28weeks.. its to make sure ur getting enough movements from baby... I think its now required because doctors get so many calls about is it normal my baby hasnt moved as much. They feel 10 movements in 1 hr is good. But I took my chart in on my 29th appointment and my doctor laughed and said u dont have to do it now if u dont want because my daughter kicks over 10 times in 10 min or less.
Avatar f tn When are you supposed to start kick counts? My Dr hasn't said anything to me and don't see her again until I'm 30.
Avatar f tn OK so I know that at 29 weeks you can do kick counts. I'm very active and so is baby most of the time. 10 kicks in a hour is what it says. My ?
1356959 tn?1488975948 If I were you I would start kick counts until your doctor instructs you to. It may just freak you out even more. I just entered my 3rd trimester as well. As long as you are feeling the baby every few hours, you're good.
