thanks XXXXXXX Ji for quick response ... one more query that at 30weeks do i need to monitor baby moves count? if yes how that is to be done?

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes movements are very important

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, look for movement of the baby every one hour after meals and stop counting after 4-5 movements each time
A total of 14-15 movements in a day are enough and more important is the change in numbers daily which matters more
