With my first pregnancy, my baby hardly moved.  I was told that it was essential that I count kicks to make sure she was okay, but honestly, it was extremely stressful.  I hated being the sole person responsible for determining if she moved enough in a day, and was often stressed to tears during my pregnancy.  My happiest day was when she arrived - at that point I knew that I was no longer the only one who could ensure she was safe.

When I learned about KickTrak, which was created by Dr. Diep Ngyuen, an OBGYN who founded a non-profit organization (http://www.babykickalliance.org/), I really wanted to review it so that other moms in my situation would have an easier time.  The KickTrak works by keeping track of your baby’s movements.  At about 24 weeks, you should use KickTrak every day at the same time of the day to record how long it takes to feel 10 movements.  KickTrak stores the data, so you can show your OB/GYN during your appointment.  It’s perfect for those mom’s on bedrest, because it’s small and portable, so you can keep it by your side!

The KickTrak has the added benefit of counting down your last 99 days of pregnancy, and you can also use it to time contractions at the end of your pregnancy.  Using the KickTrak is so easy - it’s very user friendly and straightforward.

This is one product that I really wish existed during my first pregnancy - and one I would certainly want to have during any subsequent pregnancy!   You can find it at http://www.babykick.com.
