For those of you doing kick counts [kind of dumb question]

I know some aren't, and I usually only kind of half-a$$ it because he moves so much throughout the day, but I'm curious about something.

My Dr told me to lay down after eating a meal, and count to 10 movements in an hour, even counting the little stuff. 

Sometimes LO will give me three or four quick taps in a row. So movement would go something like:

Kick....pause....stretch...pause....kick-kick-kick...pause...stretch

Do you count the three kicks in a row as one movement, or three?

I count them separately. My baby usually gives me ten movements within 5 - 15 minutes.

I only count them when there is a distinguishable pause in between.  So in your example I would count 4, not 6.

That's what I've been doing. There are some days where separate counts would have me at 10 movements in about 3 minutes, and I don't think that doing it that way would really do what kick counts are meant for.

I too only count with distinguishable pauses.  Kick count is such a joke for me b/c LO never seems to stop moving, honestly.  In fact, at this point, the only time I do KC is if he's unusually still for an extended period of time.  Then I start counting and realize he must have been moving all along because I get 10 movements+ in less than 15 mins.  I think I've just become so used to it that I sometimes don't notice the subtler movements.
