Fetal Movement Kick Counts

Your provider has asked you to start keeping track of fetal movement.

Fetal movement is typically indicative of fetal well-being. In order to track fetal movement, after you have had your evening meal, lay down on your left side.

Keep track of fetal movement: kicks, rolls, etc.

If there are less than 5 to 6 movements in one hour, you should notify your provider. He or she may instruct you to go to the office or hospital for additional testing.
