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. 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. Kick counting is also a great way to bond with your baby!

• The ability to download and send kick counting data directly from the app
• Available in 12 languages: Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Haitian-Creole, Hindi, Marshallese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, and Vietnamese
• Users can track movements for single babies or twins
• Easy-to-read graphs that show your baby’s normal movement history
• Login via social media or accounts such as Google or Microsoft
• Daily interactive and educational messages that appear after a kick session has been saved
• Notifications to remind users to count kicks
• An optional survey for users to inform us of their experience using the app and the outcome of their pregnancy
