Depends: At full term most babies don't have a lot of room to move. However, if your baby is not moving the way you think it should, do not second guess yourself. Go in for monitoring and ask your md to explain how to do kick counts. About 10 movements/hour.

1 hour, 10 movements: You should have at least one hour in 24 where you feel about 10 movements. Note that i didn't say every hour....Babies have sleep cycles. If you don't have at least 1 hour with 10 movements you should be evaluated. Any movement counts...Doesn't have to be a big kick.
