Today Trish talks about the importance of monitoring fetal movements to ensure your baby's health. She provides practical advice on how to perform fetal movement counts, emphasizing that all movements, excluding hiccups, should be noted. Trish explains that regular monitoring, after 27-28 weeks, can significantly reduce the risk of stillbirth by 30%, and shares personal anecdotes to highlight the critical nature of timely intervention. The episode also includes a downloadable fetal kick count tracker, and encourages mothers to always seek medical attention if they notice a decrease in fetal movements.00:54 Today's Topic: Fetal Movement Counts01:18 Interactive Session with Viewers04:45 Understanding Fetal Movement Counts05:26 Importance of Monitoring Fetal Movements11:15 When and How to Perform Movement Counts13:03 Tips for Effective Kick Counting14:57 What to Do If Movements Decrease17:29 Summary and Final ThoughtsMore from this episode:Reply KICK on this Instagram Live  to grab the fetal kick count tracker for free!Resources: Grab a Free Pregnancy/Postpartum Checklist BundleConnect w/ Trish: On InstagramOn FacebookOn YouTubeOn Pinterest On TikTokFor more pregnancy & birth education, subscribe to The Birth Experience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Next Steps with LNM:If you are ready to invest in your pregnancy & postpartum journey, you are in the right place.
