Well done on making the third trimester, Smelly!

With the kicks, at this point the baby is "supposed" to be in a routine, so you can tell if something is amiss. I have a kick chart to fill in; you put the time where the 10th kick was and you count between 8am and 8pm. If less than 10 kicks in this time for 2-3 days go seek help, if no kicks at all go straight to the hospital. If Liebs missed two of our little kicking sessions (one's starting now!) then I'd be in A&E in 10 seconds (quite literally, as I work in a hospital right next to A&E).

Just remember, your placenta could be blocking some of the kicks and so long as there's not too much of a deviation from "routine" then you and bub should be fine.
