Baby Kick Counter
From about 28 weeks, counting your baby’s movements once a day is one of the simplest and most useful things you can do. Tap the button each time you feel a kick, roll, jab or flutter.
How to count
- Pick a time of day when your baby is usually active — often after a meal or in the evening — and try to use the same time each day.
- Lie on your left side or sit comfortably, somewhere quiet, and put your phone where you can reach it.
- Tap once for every kick, roll, swish or jab. Hiccups do not count.
- Stop when you reach ten. Most babies reach ten well within two hours, and often within half an hour.
What is normal
- There is no universal "right" number of kicks. What matters is your baby’s own pattern — you are the best judge of what is usual for your baby.
- Babies have sleep cycles of 20 to 40 minutes during which they may not move at all. That is normal.
- It is a myth that babies move less towards the end of pregnancy. Movements should not reduce as you approach your due date.
- This counter keeps your session only on this device so a page refresh does not lose it. Nothing is sent to the hospital.
When to call — do not wait
Contact the hospital immediately, at any hour, if your baby’s movements feel reduced or different from usual, if you do not reach ten movements in two hours, or if you have not felt any movement at all. Do not lie down and wait until morning, do not drink cold water and hope, and do not wait for your next appointment. Reduced fetal movement needs a fetal heart trace the same day — our labour room is staffed 24x7.
Frequently asked questions
When should I start counting kicks?
From around 28 weeks in a normal pregnancy. Your obstetrician may ask you to start earlier if you have a high-risk pregnancy, twins, or a baby whose growth is being monitored.
How many movements are normal in a day?
Rather than a fixed number, the standard advice is the count-to-ten method: on any given day you should feel at least ten distinct movements within two hours of focused counting. Most mothers reach ten far sooner than that.
My baby is quieter than yesterday. Should I call?
Yes. Reduced movement is the single most important warning sign a mother can notice herself, and every hospital would far rather check and reassure you than have you wait. It is never a nuisance to call.
Do hiccups count as movements?
No. Hiccups are rhythmic and involuntary and are counted separately from kicks, rolls and jabs.
