    Kick counters

    I know I'm ahead of myself here, but I've been reading some bereavement literature and sites and have found things that may be useful to other women who've had a late loss/stillbirth/neo-natal death. I know that even though DS died from a genetic condition, I'm going to be paranoid about things like counting kicks during future pregnancies.

    There's a general pregnancy app for the iPhone called Sprout - Pregnancy Essentials, which includes a kick counter (it also has a bunch of other things, like 3D pics, weight tracker, appt planner, contraction timer). Has anyone used it or found it useful?

    A UK site called Count the Kicks is selling wrist bands with the numbers 1-10 and a counter you move along throughout the day as you feel bub move. They're sold through their ebay site.

    Any other ideas for easy ways to keep track of kicks and things?

    I know this stuff can be useful for all mums, not just babyloss parents, so if this post needs moving, that's cool.

    I have another iphone app that has a kick counter, it's called Baby Bump.

    I'm only 8 weeks, but i'm liking the app so far.

    Wow I have just had a look at sprout. I like the way it looks. I actually (with matthew) used another one, but it didnt have kick counter.

    I like the look of this one.

    I would love to hear if anyone has used it
