Kicklet
Kick Counter & Contraction Timer
Kicklet is a calm kick counter and contraction timer for the third trimester. Count your baby's movements right from the Lock Screen, learn what's normal for your baby, time contractions with a 5-1-1 go-rule and keep your hospital bag ready. Everything stays on your iPhone, with no account.
Overview
A kick counter you can use without unlocking your phone
Most kick counts happen lying down in the evening, often in the dark. Kicklet puts a Kick button on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you tap once for every movement while the count and the timer keep running.
How to count baby kicks
Many midwives and doctors suggest a daily movement count from around week 28. A simple way to do it:
- Pick a time when your baby is usually active, often after a meal or in the evening.
- Lie on your side or sit comfortably and focus on your baby's movements.
- Count every kick, roll, swish or flutter until you reach 10. Hiccups don't count.
- Note how long it took. Over a few days you learn what's normal for your baby.
Kicklet times every session, shows how long your baby usually takes to reach 10 and gently points out when a count takes longer than usual. If you notice fewer movements or a change in your baby's pattern, call your midwife, doctor or hospital right away. Don't wait until the next day.
A contraction timer with the 5-1-1 rule
The 5-1-1 rule is a common guideline for when to head to the hospital: contractions about 5 minutes apart, each lasting about 1 minute, for at least 1 hour. Some providers use 4-1-1 or 3-1-1 instead, and Kicklet supports all three.
- One tap to start and stop each contraction
- Length, time apart and contractions in the last hour, calculated for you
- A go-rule bar that fills as your pattern holds, and an alert when it's time to call
- A slow breathing guide while each contraction runs
Always follow your own provider's advice. Call right away if your water breaks, you have bleeding, or your baby is moving less.
