How to count your baby’s movements

Your baby’s movements are a sign of their wellbeing. Pick a time when your baby is usually active, get comfortable, and tap once for every movement you feel — kicks, rolls, flutters and jabs all count. Over a few sessions you’ll get a feel for your baby’s normal pattern, which is far more useful than any fixed target number. The target in this tool is a personal tracking preference, not a medical threshold.

When to contact your care team

Trust your instincts. If you think your baby is moving less than usual, or their pattern has changed, contact your midwife or maternity unit immediately — day or night. Never put it off until the next day and never rely on this or any home device to reassure you. Learn more about baby movements in pregnancy and when to seek help.

FAQs

When should I start counting kicks?
Most people are advised to start paying attention to their baby's movements from around 28 weeks, though your own midwife or doctor may suggest earlier if they've asked you to monitor movements. There's no single 'correct' number of movements — what matters is what's normal for your baby.
How does a kick counter work?
Find a quiet moment when your baby is usually active, press start, and tap once for each movement you feel — a kick, roll, flutter or jab all count. The tool times how long it takes to reach your chosen number of movements so you can spot your baby's usual pattern over time.
What if my baby's movements have slowed down or changed?
A change in your baby's usual pattern of movements can be important. Do not wait — contact your midwife or maternity unit straight away, at any time of day or night. This counter helps you track and share movements; it does not diagnose anything and never tells you whether your baby is well.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. Counting and saving sessions works instantly and stays on your device. If you sign in, your sessions save to your account so you can sync across devices, see your history and turn on gentle daily reminders.
