Welcome to BabyKickTrack: Your Pregnancy Journey, Supported
Pregnancy is one of life's most profound experiences—a time of transformation, wonder, anticipation, and sometimes, understandable anxiety. Whether you're a first-time mother marveling at each flutter or an experienced parent welcoming another little one, every pregnancy journey is unique and deserves expert support, clear information, and tools that empower you to connect deeply with your growing baby.
BabyKickTrack was created with a singular mission: to provide expectant mothers with trustworthy, medically-informed, and easy-to-use pregnancy tracking tools that bring reassurance and clarity during this precious time. We understand that pregnancy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to distinguish between normal changes and signs that warrant medical attention. That's why every tool, every word, and every feature on this website has been designed with your well-being and your baby's health as the absolute priority.
Why Tracking Matters: Connection, Awareness, and Peace of Mind
Fetal movement monitoring, contraction timing, and understanding pregnancy milestones aren't just clinical tasks—they're opportunities to bond with your baby and develop an intuitive awareness of their patterns and rhythms. When you take time each day to focus on your baby's movements, you're not only gathering important health information; you're also creating quiet moments of connection that many mothers describe as deeply meaningful.
Research supported by leading medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), shows that maternal awareness of fetal movement patterns is an important component of prenatal care. While the tools on this site are educational and supportive in nature, they work best when used in conjunction with regular prenatal care from your healthcare provider.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention
🚨 Contact Your Healthcare Provider or Go to the Hospital Immediately If:
- You notice a significant decrease in fetal movement or your baby stops moving
- You experience vaginal bleeding
- Your water breaks or you suspect it may have broken
- You have severe abdominal pain
- You experience severe headache, vision changes, or swelling (possible signs of preeclampsia)
- You have contractions before 37 weeks that don't stop
- You simply feel that something is not right—trust your instincts
Never hesitate or feel embarrassed about contacting your healthcare provider. They would much rather check on you and find everything is fine than have you wait when something needs attention.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Pregnancy Tracking
We've answered the most common questions expectant mothers have about fetal movement, kick counting, and using our tools safely and effectively.
Most healthcare providers recommend starting kick counts around 28 weeks of pregnancy, when fetal movements become more regular and predictable. However, every pregnancy is unique. Your doctor or midwife may recommend a different timeline based on your individual circumstances. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific guidance.
Many providers recommend doing kick counts once or twice daily, typically at times when your baby is usually active. The most important thing is consistency—tracking at roughly the same time each day helps you learn your baby's unique pattern. If you notice any significant changes in movement, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Decreased fetal movement requires immediate medical attention. If you notice your baby is moving less than normal, try drinking cold water, eating a small snack, and lying on your left side in a quiet room. If you still don't feel normal movement within an hour, call your doctor, midwife, or go to the hospital immediately. Never wait or assume everything is fine—it's always better to get checked.
Absolutely not. The tools on BabyKickTrack are educational resources designed to help you monitor and understand your pregnancy, but they do NOT replace professional medical care. Regular prenatal appointments, ultrasounds, and communication with your healthcare team are essential. These tools are meant to complement, not replace, medical supervision.
The 'Count to 10' method involves counting 10 distinct movements (kicks, rolls, jabs, or flutters) from your baby. Most healthcare providers consider it reassuring if you feel 10 movements within 2 hours. Many babies will move 10 times within 15-30 minutes. Use our Kick Counter tool to easily track this, but always discuss your specific target times with your healthcare provider.

No. BabyKickTrack does not collect, store, or transmit any of your health data. All tools run entirely in your browser, and no information is saved to our servers. Your privacy is paramount. For complete details, please review our Privacy Policy.
Braxton Hicks contractions are typically irregular, don't increase in intensity, and often stop with movement or hydration. True labor contractions become progressively longer, stronger, and closer together, and don't stop with position changes. Use our Contraction Timer to track patterns, and contact your healthcare provider if you're unsure or if contractions follow the 5-1-1 rule (5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour).
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, your healthcare provider may give you specific instructions that differ from general guidance. Always follow your doctor's or specialist's recommendations. While our tools can still be helpful for tracking, your medical team's personalized care plan takes absolute priority.
The common guideline is the 5-1-1 rule: contractions 5 minutes apart, each lasting 1 minute, for at least 1 hour (some providers use 4-1-1). However, go to the hospital immediately if your water breaks, you're bleeding, you have severe pain, or you notice decreased fetal movement. Your healthcare provider will give you personalized instructions—always follow their specific guidance for your situation.
