Mama, Can You Feel Me? Tracking Chart

Track Your Baby’s Movements – Right from Home

Project Alive & Kicking (PAK) encourages all expecting moms to be proactive and informed throughout pregnancy. One of the most important ways to monitor your baby’s well-being is by tracking their daily movements—your baby’s unique way of letting you know they’re doing well.

Our free printable tracking chart, Mama, Can You Feel Me?, helps you record your baby’s movements every day. The chart is also available in Spanish as Mantener Rastreo de Mamá y Bebé.

When to Begin Tracking

Start using the chart at Week 8 of your pregnancy to note key milestones and changes. Beginning at Week 28, you’ll start tracking your baby’s daily movements (kicks) through delivery day.

This information not only helps you stay connected with your baby—it may also become part of your medical record, supporting your healthcare team in providing the best care possible.

Why Tracking Matters

Because you don’t see your doctor, midwife, or healthcare provider every day, it’s important to pay close attention to your baby’s movements at home. By tracking these patterns, you’ll learn what’s normal for your baby—and recognize any changes quickly.

If you notice any changes in your baby’s movement patterns, such as a decrease, increase, or absence in fetal movement, CALL your health care team immediately to make sure that your baby is well. If you are unable to reach or visit your health care team, go to Labor and Delivery or the Emergency Room. Do not wait until the next day or next appointment!

You know your baby best, so always trust your instincts.

Research shows that being attentive to your baby’s movement patterns and reporting changes promptly can help reduce the risk of stillbirth.
