Is that normal? What is a normal amount of kicks? Is this too many? Too few? I don’t feel my baby yet, is that normal?!
Whew! Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in your life, and also one of the most anxiety-inducing. From worries about hCG levels to flutters and kicks, from birth plans to postpartum care, your mind may be a whirlwind of questions, concerns, and possibilities.
Luckily, your healthcare provider can help calm your anxiety, answer your questions, and help you handle things one step at a time. Feeling supported and heard is important in every healthcare journey.

Our healthcare blog is full of helpful articles and resources to help you become a knowledgeable, confident mom, long before your baby arrives.
