What is a Baby Kick Counter?
Many providers suggest counting fetal movements in the third trimester — often aiming for 10 kicks within about two hours. This counter lets you tap each time you feel movement while a session timer runs in the background.
Every saved session records the exact start time, end time, kick total, and duration. History stays on your device so you can review patterns before a prenatal visit. Adjust the target between 5 and 20 kicks to match your clinician’s guidance.
The large tap button is designed for one-handed use on a phone. A progress bar shows how close you are to your chosen kick target, and you can delete individual sessions or clear all history from the panel below the tool.
How it works
Your first tap starts the session clock. Each additional tap increments the kick counter. When you tap Save Session, the tool stores the kick total plus precise start and end timestamps in local browser storage. No account is required.

Common Use Cases & Examples
- 10-kick count session: Set target to 10 and note how long it takes — a common pattern providers ask about.
- Session history for appointments: Bring recent saved sessions (date, duration, kick count) to your prenatal check-up.
- Quiet evening monitoring: Run a session when baby is usually active and compare over several days locally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many kicks should I count per session?+
Most healthcare providers suggest counting 10 kicks within a 2-hour window. You can adjust the target to 5, 10, 15, or 20 depending on your provider's recommendation.
How are the times recorded?+
The session starts the moment you tap the button for the first kick. The end time is recorded when you tap Save Session. Both times are saved with exact hours, minutes, and seconds.
Is my data stored securely?+
All session data is saved locally in your browser's storage. Nothing is sent to any server. Clearing your browser data will remove the history.

Confusing hiccups with kicks — count what your clinician defines as a “movement.”
Forgetting to save the session, which loses the timestamp log.
Expecting cloud backup — data lives only in this browser until you clear it.
