👣 Movements

Count movements for one hour after a meal — breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sit or lie somewhere quiet; babies move most when you are still.

Your pattern

The number that matters is your own usual figure, not anyone else's — how much a baby moves varies enormously between pregnancies. That is why this screen shows your average rather than a target to hit.

📞 When to call — do not wait

Any reduction from your baby's usual pattern is a reason to be checked — today, not tomorrow morning. That holds whatever this screen says, and whether or not you have counted. Reduced movement is one of the few warnings only you can notice.

If you are worried right now: lie on your left side and focus on movements for up to two hours. Fewer than 10 distinct movements in that time means contact your maternity unit immediately. Use the "I'm worried right now" button above — it counts to that rule instead of the after-meal one.

⚠️ Do not try these first: cold drinks, sugary food, poking the bump or lying down to "wait and see" are not a substitute for being checked, and they cost time.

Worth knowing about counting itself. Daily counting (DFMC) is widely advised in India and your doctor may have given you a chart. It is not universally recommended — the largest trial (AFFIRM, 2018, about 409,000 pregnancies) found formal counting did not reduce stillbirth, and UK guidance advises against fixed charts in favour of simply knowing your baby's pattern. What every guideline agrees on is the rule above: a change means get checked. Count if it helps you notice a change. Don't let a completed count talk you out of a worry.

Sit and rest 5 minutes first, arm level with your heart, cuff on a bare upper arm. A badly-taken reading is the commonest cause of a frightening one — the full steps are further down this tab.

🎯 What the numbers mean

These are the ACOG thresholds used in pregnancy. Note that each band is an either/or: the top number alone, or the bottom number alone, is enough to reach it — a reading of 118/95 is not reassuring just because the top number looks fine. Your doctor may set different numbers for you; theirs win over these.

A home monitor does not diagnose pre-eclampsia — that needs blood tests and a urine protein test alongside the readings. What it does do is tell you when a number has crossed a line that guidelines say to act on. ⚠️ Blood pressure is only part of the picture: a bad headache that won't shift, changes in your vision, pain under the ribs on the right, or sudden swelling of the face and hands are worth a call whatever your reading says.

📋 Taking it properly

Use a validated upper-arm monitor, not a wrist or finger one — wrist devices are far more position-sensitive and are not recommended for tracking pregnancy blood pressure. Check the cuff size fits your arm; that is the most common cause of a falsely high reading.

Summary & trend

🎯 Targets in pregnancy

These are pregnancy targets, and they are tighter than non-pregnant targets — pregnancy lowers normal glucose, so a number your family treats as fine can still be above target here. The post-meal figure is the standard ACOG / ADA one; the fasting target here is set to 90, tighter than the 95 those two publish. Your doctor may set different numbers for you; theirs win over these.

This log tracks the 1 hour reading. ACOG / ADA also publish a 2 hour target of ≤120, and testing at 2 hours is the more common practice in India (“PPBS”). If your doctor asked you to test 2 hours after eating, the ≤140 above does not apply to your readings — say so and the log can be switched over.

A home meter does not diagnose gestational diabetes — only a lab OGTT does. Use this to track what your doctor asked you to track, not to rule GDM in or out.

🧪 How to test — step by step

When to test. Follow your doctor's schedule. The usual GDM pattern is four times a day: fasting when you wake, then one or two hours after the first bite of each main meal — timed from the first bite, not from when you finished eating.

📦 The kit

Not medical advice, and not a substitute for your doctor or your meter's own manual. Readings you enter here are stored in your shared space like the rest of your data.

🛑 Stop exercising and call your doctor if you notice: vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage, dizziness or chest pain, calf pain or swelling, regular painful contractions, or reduced fetal movement.
