Counting baby's kicks
Since movement in the uterus is a sign of fetal health, pregnant women should monitor the baby's kicking and activity.The American Pregnancy Association offers these suggestions:
You can start counting kicks at about 28 weeks, and monitor throughout the rest of your pregnancy.
Count how long and how often your baby kicks.
If you notice a decrease in baby's activity, it's important to let your doctor know at once.
On average, babies will move about 10 times in a two-hour period. Movements may include kicking, rolling, turning and twisting.
