Kick Trak
Designed by an obstetrician, kickTrak simplifies kick counting to potentially reduce the risk of stillbirth. Visualization of changes in your baby's movement pattern helps you promptly alert your doctor of possible problems and allows early intervention.
Starting at 24 weeks, use kickTrak to record and store the time it takes for your baby to complete 10 movements including kicks, rolls, jabs, and turns-- once a day, at the same time, when your baby is usually most active.

Kick Counting Chart
Before starting your activity log be aware there's no single "standard" for the number of kicks to expect, but on average you should be able to detect at least 5 definite movements per hour in the last trimester. Babies sleep, and there may be times in the day when you feel little or no movement. That's why it's important to be aware of any changes in your baby's daily pattern. In time you'll get used to your baby's particular patterns.
