I think it's more of a guild if you haven't felt them for a while. I'm 31 weeks and some days I'm so busy with my boy and work I really don't notice any kicks but when I sit down and relax babies there kicking away. If you do sit there for a hole hour trying to feel movement and feel nothing then you need to ring your midwife/doctor. X

There is no exact number of kicks to feel over any time period. This is out dated advise. You should get to know your own babies patterns of movement and any reduced movements need to be checked out.

Visit wwww.countthekicks.org they have really good information on how to count kicks correctly.
