1. The hallmark tool of the Count the Kicks public health campaign empowers expectant parents to track their babies’ movements daily in the third trimester of pregnancy.
2. Research shows a change in fetal movement can be the earliest and sometimes only indication that a baby is in distress in utero and should be checked by a provider.
3. Kick counting is also a great way to bond with your baby!
1. So, I've taken to double-checking each session in the Kick Session History and reentering the final kick.I'm giving the app 4 stars because it's such a convenient way to track kicks but I would give it 3 stars due to the way the kick chart reads as well as the app glitching every time I try to view my kick history.
2. My biggest complaint is after the most recent update--Each time I open the app or complete a kick count, a form launches asking me for extensive personal information.
3. By the time I close it, click start counting, and then click a kick count, I'm several seconds off.
4. However I often end up disappointed because I forget to come back and count, fall asleep, or baby needs me, my count will be way off and read, say an hour, when my last kick happened while I was busy.
5. Wish I could just track kicks overall rather than count to 10, and that data was better sorted to identify baby's most active times.
6. Before using the app I found it difficult to keep track of how many kicks I felt within a certain time period.
7. Often times I will complete a session and it won't register it properly so the next time I go in to start a new session, it's been ticking away for hours, causing an inaccuracy.
8. Count the Kicks makes counting my baby's movements much easier and less stressful, and I recommend it.
9. I would prefer the chart to read with the time frame at the bottom and number of kicks on the side.
10. The only issue that has happened to me 3 or 4 times is when I've finished a session and the app behaves like I've finished, the session will actually be incomplete because for some reason the 10th kick isn't counted.
11. After I completed our VERY FIRST session, which lasted 4 minutes, the end screen displays a chart listing 5 dates with different times saying the session was 15 mins and that our average was 15.
