Ep 302: Feeling Your Baby Move - What’s Normal, What’s Not, and When to Call


Listen Later

Today we’re talking about something that is beautiful, powerful, and yes—potentially life-saving: feeling your baby move. In addition to the emotional connection, it’s also an important way to stay in tune with their wellbeing. But there’s a lot of inaccurate advice and fear out there. 

You’ll hear so many opinions about kick counts, what’s normal, and when you should call your doctor. It can feel incredibly confusing. So today I’m giving you the info you need on understanding your baby’s movement so you can feel calm, confident, and empowered through every kick, roll, and twist.


In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:
  • When you should start feeling your baby move
  • What's normal for fetal movement and what's not
  • How to tune into your baby's pattern without stressing yourself out
  • When counting kicks can be a helpful tool—and when it’s not necessary
  • What the research says about tracking fetal movement and preventing stillbirth
  • When to see your doctor or midwife for changes in your baby’s activity
