Such a thing as baby kicks counting app?

Hi, currently 27+5 with my first, I've seen that people have been told to start counting kicks from 28 weeks but my next midwife appointment isn't still for almost 2 weeks. Is there such a thing as an app that can help with this or is it just a case of keeping track of them to ourselves?

26 week bump

Nausea / feeling sick

With my first I barely had any nausea that wasn’t fixed with a packet of mini cheddars. This pregnancy I’m 6+2, and from 5 weeks I’ve felt sick/nauseous nearly every day all day.

Does breech baby movements feel less?

My last baby was head down early and stayed and he moved so much! This baby moved so much then turned breech and for the last few days since I’ve had it confirmed he’s breech I’ve felt hardly any movement. I’m guessing that’s because he’s breech? I feel slightly out off breath and it’s sore/pressure around my r...
