A baby's movements are an important sign of their well-being in the 3rd trimester. Get to know what's normal for your baby using the FREE Count the Kicks pregnancy app. Count the Kicks is an easy, reliable way for expectant parents to monitor their baby’s well-being in the third trimester in addition to regular prenatal visits. After a few sessions on the app, you will start to notice an average amount of time it takes your baby to get to 10 movements.
