Hilary’s core concepts around baby kick counts are:

  1. Start in the third trimester (around 27–28 weeks) and make it a regular habit
  2. You’re always comparing your baby to your baby, not to anyone else’s pattern
  3. Choose a time when baby is usually active and track how long it takes to feel 10 movements
  4. Notice your baby’s normal pattern over days, not moment to moment
  5. If you notice a big change, call your provider right away
  6. Kick counts can actually reduce anxiety when used as a calm, intentional check-in, and a chance to bond and involve your family

Would you like a simple step‑by‑step routine you can follow for daily kick counts?
