Fetal kick counting

Hi hi! would like to seek advise from fellow mommies.. How often do you count kicks or feel the kicks? When I wake up, my baby will kick so I will count 1 set .. then I will doze off and 2 hours of nap again, my baby will starting kicking enough for me to count another set.. and throughout the day I feel the kick quite obvious on and off despite all movement and activities including walking. During the night, I will be able to count a set as well at a certain time. I am a first time mom, I don’t know if I am thinking too much but is it normal ? Is my baby ok? Is it sign of ADHD? I am starting to overthink …

I dont count kicks, as long as baby moves everyday. Some days baby moves more, other days quieter but still moves. My gynae did not ask me to count either, he just asks if baby movements are constant or got significant reduction. And no, baby being extra active inside you is not any indication of ADHD. ADHD can only be assessed some time after baby is born or when your kid is growing up.
