Counting kicks is a simple way to learn your baby’s usual movement pattern during the third trimester and notice when something feels different. And remember, all movements (except hiccups) count - not just kicks! #babykicks #countthekicks #kickcounting

Do you ever notice that your baby moves more while you are trying to relax?! 😂

Who knew that baby would want to elbow you at 2 A.M.?!

You know your baby better than anyone else! That's why paying attention to your baby's normal movement pattern in the third trimester is so important. If you notice a change in your baby's movements, don't wait - contact your healthcare provider right away.

A healthy pregnancy and birth often takes a team effort. Research shows that continuous support from a trained doula is associated with improved birth outcomes, including shorter labors, fewer interventions and higher satisfaction with the birth experience.

At Count the Kicks, we believe every family deserves evidence-based tools and support. A doula can be an important part of your birth team, alongside your healthcare provider and daily movement monitoring during the third trimester.

A lot can happen between prenatal appointments. That's why knowing your baby's normal movement pattern gives you information every single day, not just when you're in the exam room.

Monitoring movements isn’t just a great way to bond with your baby during the third trimester; it’s a way to stay in tune with your baby’s well-being.
