You may even confuse baby kicks with gas or other tummy rumblings. Toward the end of your pregnancy, though, you should be able to feel plenty of kicks and rolls. Many women start what is called “kick counting” at this time (around 28 weeks) to help keep track of baby’s health.

Kick counting may help prevent stillbirth by helping you tune in to what baby is up to in the womb.

Counting the kicks is easy: Just set aside some time to sit quietly and keep track of any kicks, jabs, rolls, or other movements. It’s best to try and count kicks at the same time each day.

You can do this on a piece of paper or even download an app like Count the Kicks!

Whatever the case, you should aim to track 10 movements within two hours.
