Overview

Track your baby's movements (kicks) and intervals after 28 weeks of pregnancy. Based on the 'Count-to-10' method recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), this tool helps monitor fetal well-being. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you notice decreased movement.

Formula

Count-to-10 Method:
- Count fetal movements at the same time each day.
- Record how long it takes to feel 10 movements.
- Typically, 10 movements within 2 hours is considered normal.

* If movements significantly decrease from your usual pattern, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

How to Use

1. 1Get into a comfortable position (lying on your left side is recommended).
2. 2Press the 'Start' button to begin the timer.
3. 3Tap the 'Record Kick' button each time you feel movement.
4. 4The elapsed time is automatically recorded when you reach 10 kicks.
5. 5Compare daily records to identify your baby's movement pattern.

Tips

• ✔Try to count at the same time each day. Choose when your baby is most active (usually 9 PM to 1 AM).
• ✔Fetal activity tends to increase after meals as blood sugar rises.
• ✔Hiccups do not count as kicks.
• ✔If you count fewer than 10 movements in 2 hours, drink cold water, change position, and try again. If still fewer than 10, contact your hospital immediately.
• ✔This tool is not a diagnostic device. Always consult your healthcare provider if you are concerned about fetal movement.
