    How it works

    Three taps. That's it

    1. Pick your moment

      Find a quiet spot when your baby is usually active. Get comfortable, then open the Kick Counter and start a session.

    2. Tap each movement

      Log every kick, roll, stretch, or flutter with one tap. ProMom times how long it takes to reach ten in the background.

    3. See your summary

      Get a clear read on today's session and how it compares to your own baseline over time.

    Maia's Insights

    Your sessions, with context

    Review timing and patterns in your recorded sessions with Maia. These summaries do not assess your baby’s health. If movements decrease, stop or change, contact your maternity care team immediately.

    • Compare your recordings

      Look back at timing across your recorded sessions. The comparison describes your logs, not a clinical assessment.

    • Review each session

      See how a recorded session compares with earlier logs. Do not use an app summary to decide whether to contact your care team about a change in movements.

    • Bring your questions

      Keep your session history available for conversations with your doctor or midwife. Follow their advice about whether and how to count movements.

    Take a real report to your appointment

    Export a clean summary of your sessions, including a chart of your time to ten movements over the past weeks. Email it to your provider or bring it to your next visit.

    Your full history, always with you

    Every session saves with the date, time, and how long it took. Look back over the last 7 days, 30 days, or your full history to see your own pattern take shape.

    Built on evidence

    Governed by the ProMom Medical Advisory Team. We follow guidance trusted by maternal-health clinicians, and we cite our sources.

    ACOG, Special Tests for Monitoring Fetal Well-Being

    ACOG describes timing how long it takes to feel 10 movements, and advises calling your ob-gyn if you have not felt 10 within 2 hours. ACOG also notes there is no single normal number of movements, and that a change from your baby's usual pattern is what matters most.

    Kick counting questions, answered

    Many providers suggest starting around 28 weeks, at the beginning of the third trimester. Your provider may recommend a different schedule based on your pregnancy, so follow their guidance first.

    There is no single normal time for every baby. Follow the counting method your clinician recommends. If movements are reduced, stop or feel different, contact your maternity care team immediately. Do not wait to reach a count or finish a session.

    There is no set number of movements every baby should make each day. A change from your baby’s usual movements matters. ProMom can help you record sessions, but a count or baseline cannot tell you whether your baby is well.

    Kicks, flutters, jabs, rolls, twists, swishes, and stretches all count. Hiccups do not.

    Most pregnant people first feel movement between 16 and 25 weeks (Cleveland Clinic). Early on it can feel like flutters, gas, or a tumbling sensation. Movement becomes more consistent and easier to track in the third trimester.

    Pick a time when your baby is usually active. ACOG suggests counting after your largest meal of the day, when movement tends to be strongest. Evenings are another common active window. Find a quiet spot without distractions and get comfortable, sitting or lying down. Once you have a few sessions logged, ProMom shows you your baby's most active window.

    Contact your doctor, midwife or maternity unit immediately if your baby is moving less, has stopped moving or their usual pattern changes, even at night. Do not wait until the next day or delay calling to finish a counting session. ProMom cannot check your baby’s health.
