anyone started kick counts?

Noticed baby wasn't in normal active pattern last night (although I did feel a few kicks) and has been very quiet again today.

I know that they have resting phases and that it's the pattern of movement that is important.

I wonder if I should do some kick counts today? It's not too early for them, right?

    I got the kick count talk at my 28 week appointment, so you're not too early.

    My doc said 6 movements in 2 hours, but it seems most people get told 10. And she said to try it at a time baby is normally active.

    My doc doesn't really have you do kick counts. She just wants me to be paying attention to any major differences in movement.  If you are noticing a big change, I'd go ahead and do them if you have an hour and can lay down.

    Not yet but I have an appointment Wednesday.  Sometimes LO is kicking where i see my shirt move and sometimes it's just slight. But overall he's active. I do worry all the time though...

    My doctor gave me a kick count card at my appointment on Friday and it started on week 28, so I don't think you're too early.

    My OB had be start counting at 26 weeks.  He "wants" 15+ for a day and late in the day to sit and count at least 4 in an hour.

    Mine has been the same way. I did a running tally in 30min increments while I was sitting doing breakfast/homework this morning and while she's not as active as usual she's still meeting the 4/hr that my Dr gave me last week. I think the pressure system that came through is slowing her down.

    I feel like she has been so quiet lately so I am going to start counting. During the day she was pretty quiet but then late at night was moving alot. I guess she has more of a pattern? I have started counting again tonight to see if I get the prescribed number of kicks.
