Formula Used
1) Total kicks
Total Kicks = Number of recorded movement timestamps
2) Time to goal
Time to Goal = Timestamp of the goal-th recorded kick
3) Kick rate per hour
Kick Rate per Hour = (Total Kicks ÷ Observation Minutes) × 60
4) Average interval
Average Interval = Sum of gaps between consecutive kicks ÷ Number of gaps
5) Longest gap
Longest Gap = Maximum quiet span between session start, kicks, or session end
This calculator follows a count-and-log approach. It does not diagnose fetal wellbeing. It simply organizes the timestamps you enter into a clearer summary.
How to Use This Calculator
Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does this calculator measure?
It measures the timing and count of movements you log during one session. It summarizes totals, time to goal, average spacing, quiet gaps, and a simple trend line from daily counts.
2) Does this tool replace medical advice?
No. It is a personal tracking helper only. If movement feels reduced, unusual, or worrying, contact your midwife, doctor, or maternity unit promptly.
3) What should I enter in the kick timestamps box?
Enter the minute mark for each movement from the start of the session. For example, if you felt movements at 4, 9, and 17 minutes, enter 4, 9, 17.
4) What is the kick goal used for?
The goal lets the calculator show how long it took to reach a target number of recorded movements. Many parents use a count-to-ten approach for simple daily logging.
5) Why does the tool show a quiet gap threshold?
The threshold helps highlight longer pauses during your session. It does not label anything as normal or abnormal. It simply points out longer stretches without recorded movement.
6) Can I track several days at once?
Yes. Add previous daily totals in the history area, one line per date. The current session count is then added to the trend graph automatically.
7) What does the Plotly graph show?
The chart shows cumulative kicks over time during the current session. It helps you see whether movement stayed steady, clustered, or picked up later in the observation window.
8) Can I save the result for appointments?
Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet-friendly export or the PDF button for a neat session summary you can print, email, or discuss during care visits.
