⚠️ Alert: Call your provider if reading is ≥ 140/90 or you have sudden swelling, headache, or vision changes

Start counting kicks when baby is active — after a meal or when you feel movement. Goal: 10 kicks in 2 hours. Best done after 28 weeks. If fewer than 10 in 2 hours, call your provider.

• Fewer than 10 kicks in 2 hours during an active counting session
• A sudden decrease in movement from baby's usual pattern
• No movement felt all day — trust your instincts
• Any time you feel "something is different" — you know your baby

— Anicia Pierre, RN · Your instincts matter. When in doubt, call.

5-1-1 Rule: Head to the hospital when contractions are 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute, for 1 hour — or whenever your provider instructs.

These symptoms need immediate attention. Do not wait.
