Kick Count Tracker Calculator

About this calculator

The count-to-ten kick count method is a standard fetal movement monitoring technique recommended by obstetric care providers in the third trimester: the mother notes the time she starts counting and marks how long it takes to feel 10 distinct fetal movements, typically done at the same time each day when the baby tends to be active. Consistently taking noticeably longer than usual to reach 10 movements, or a clear drop in the baby's normal activity pattern, is a signal to contact a care provider.

Pregnant people and their obstetric providers use kick counting as a simple, no-equipment way to keep an eye on fetal wellbeing between prenatal appointments, since a healthy baby's movement pattern is fairly consistent day to day and a real change is often (though not always) an early, actionable sign worth checking rather than something to wait out.

This calculator takes how many minutes it took to feel 10 movements and returns your movements per hour and average minutes per movement, so you can track the pattern over time.
