Kira baby kick

Question

Hai,Harini saya baru 27 weeks 3 days, tapi haritu nurse kk dah suruh start kira baby kick start harini (means belum masuk 28 weeks pun). Lepastu, baby saya ni, lately ni sejak masuk 3rd trim dia dah start tak banyak sangat gerak. Tapi bila scan jantung apa semua okey je. So harini saya start kira baby kick, kalau dah sejam baby takde gerak, macam mana ya? Kena pi PAC terus ke? Kena marah tak sebab sepatutnya kira kick tu kan start 28 weeks kan?#askmommies #Sharingdong_Bund #mohonbantujawabbunda #mohonbantujawab

Hai bund! Dont worry lah, nurse KK tu probably just being extra cautious, which is actually good thing. A few of us mums started counting kicks before 28 weeks also, the idea is just to get familiar with your babys normal pattern, so you know whats normal for YOUR baby, not a strict rule that must start exactly at 28 weeks.The movements do change in third trimester, they become less fluttery kicks and more like rolls and jabs, so some mums think baby is moving less when actually baby just dah besar and space is tight! But if you notice an hour pass with zero movement, its always better to go to PAC and get checked out, just for peace of mind, they wont marah you, I promise. Doctors prefer you to come in than worry at home. Since everything looked good at the scan, thats already very reassuring. Just do the kick count when youve had a rest and a snack (baby moves more then), and trust your gut, if something feels off, go get it checked. All the best!
