Count the Kicks

3rd trimester? Counting Kicks is what moms should do-It’s important & easy too!

The hallmark tool of the Count the Kicks public health campaign empowers expectant parents to track their babies’ movements daily in the third trimester of pregnancy. Research shows a change in fetal movement can be the earliest and sometimes only indication that a baby is in distress in utero and should be checked by a provider. Kick counting is also a great way to bond with your baby!
