Counting Kicks ???

My baby has been getting increasingly more active  the past few week,  just wondering if anybody else has started counting kicks yet... or is it still to early to start?

My doctor gave me a form to start tracking the kick counts starting in week 28. I'm supposed to show it to her at my next appt. But like what a lot of others are saying, he moves around at different times of the day, so it's hard to keep track. Nighttime seems to be easiest and most consistent as far as movement goes, though.

I have done the kicking count, but not consistanlty. She goes through phases of being very active to quiet, but even babies sleep, so I dont worry. If I feel like she hasnt moved in a while I will get more concious and start couting movements.

Yeah my boy is so active, I probably couldn't keep up either lol. But its good though, I'd rather him be moving a lot than a lil or not at all. But maybe ill try counting one of these days.

I am 28 weeks now and my baby boy has been moving a lot more for the past couple weeks. The only time I count kicks is when I notice that he hasn't moved for a while.
