It’s important to keep a check on your baby’s movements during pregnancy. Kicks Count app helps you track your baby’s movement pattern, focusing on consistency rather than a set number of kicks.
Tap the footprint on the app each time you feel a session of movement (a period when your baby is active), not individual kicks. Save your sessions daily and reset the counter each day.
Use the graphs (2, 7, 14 days) to understand your baby’s normal pattern. The app also lets you save your midwife’s details and access information. This information is available in 40 different languages.
Important: Don’t rely only on the app. If you are concerned about your baby’s movements, contact your local maternity triage immediately. Wye Valley NHS Trust’s maternity triage contact details 07990986517.
