That’s not just a kick. That’s your baby saying, “Hi, I’m here.”
At Flowrence Hospital, we’ve had countless moms tell us how those little movements gave them reassurance on tough days and joy on the good ones. Tracking your baby’s movements isn’t about being perfect or paranoid—it’s about staying connected, both emotionally and physically.
Why Those Tiny Movements Matter
By the time you’re in your second trimester—usually around 18 to 25 weeks—you’ll start feeling kicks, rolls, and stretches. These aren’t just cute moments for your pregnancy journal. They’re also signs your baby is growing and thriving.
Every kick, every twist, every stretch is your baby’s way of communicating. When the pattern is strong and familiar, it’s a comfort. But if it suddenly slows or changes, it can be your baby’s way of asking for help.
How to Count Kicks—Without Stress
We suggest picking a time when your baby is usually active. After a meal or in the evening often works best. Get comfortable—lie down on your left side or sit somewhere quiet. Place your hands on your belly and start counting.
You're looking for 10 movements in two hours. Most babies hit that mark well before the two-hour window is up. Don’t worry if it takes longer some days—what’s most important is recognizing your baby’s normal pattern.
We’ve seen moms jot notes in journals, use apps, or just mentally log them with a smile. There’s no right or wrong way—only what works for you.
When Should You Call?
You know your baby’s rhythm best. If something feels off—if the kicks are lighter, fewer, or stop altogether—don’t wait.
Call your doctor or come in. Our team at Flowrence Hospital, one of the best maternity hospitals in Rajkot, is here to listen, examine, and ensure everything is okay.
Changes don’t always mean something is wrong—but it’s always worth checking.
