You are the nurse providing teaching to a pregnant woman on how to do kick counts. You will tell her all of the following except:

Report fetal movement below normal as this is an indication for further assessment.

If fetal movement is decreased, you should eat something, rest, and focus on fetal movement for 1 hour.

You must lay prone to perform fetal kick counts.

Fetal movement counting is based on the physiological principles that compromised fetuses reduce activity in response to decreased oxygenation.
