I just did it if I wasn't feeling as much movement and didn't start until third trimester.

Usually I can get 10 kicks in 20 minutes or so.  So I don't do it all the time.  Just when there's not a lot of activity and u want to make sure I'm getting the kicks I should

I only count when I feel like he isn't moving as often.   Usually he's crazy active so counting 10 minutes doesn't take awhile but like today I didn't feel like he was moving a ton but I still got 10 kicks in like 1.5 hour.
