The minimum number of maternally perceived fetal movements (kicks) consistent with fetal well-being has been termed the "alarm limit." While there are various different proposed methods, the most commonly referred to method with an alarm limit would be the "count to 10" method. This involves the mothers perception of least 10 kicks over up to two hours when the mother is at rest and focused on counting. This method has a high compliance and acceptance rate among mothers because it is easy to perform, convenient, and does not take much time. There are also free apps available to help you to keep track of the number of kicks.
