Fetal movement reflects the wellbeing of your unborn baby. This Iphone App helps you recording down these parameters.

There are numerous ways to count your baby’s movements. We follows the method recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). It is very easy to follow, all you need to do is to time how long it takes you to feel 10 kicks. That includes all kinds of flutters, swishes, or rolls. Ideally, you want to feel at least 10 movements within 2 hours. You will likely feel 10 movements in much less time. In case the time taken for these 10 kicks exceeds 2 hours or doubles the time it usually takes in similar timing of the day, the safest way is to obtain the medical advice urgently. Sounds a bit difficult? That is why you need this app.

There are scientific evidence showing monitoring the heart rate of the baby might allow earlier detection of distress. Therefore combining the regular usage of the kick counter and fetal heart rate monitoring offer the best practice ensuring everything is going well. Measuring the baby heart rate, however, will require a tiny medical instrument called fetal Doppler. Luckily, most, if not all, mothers will master the technique of using the fetal Doppler very quickly.

This application helps you keep logging your baby movement. You can review the record in the graph. With the graph, you might have noticed your baby has his own sleep-awake pattern. By now you should know what time he sleeps or play around.
