I'm 18 weeks pregnant and have started feeling the baby move this week and the last 2 days can feel her frequently, I've read that we should count the kicks so we can spot if the movement reduces.
It's my first so don't know how to do it, do I just count every definite kick or the bubbly feelings too? and do I count per hour then record it or a whole days worth? Where do people record it? Does the baby sleep and does this usually happen at certain times? what's a 'normal' amount of kicks and finally do I contact the midwife is the kicks slow or if they stop altogether and if they did stop how long would I give it before I got checked out?
sorry for all the questions
