Yes. I do this and though everyone knew about it. I found this online:

During pregnancy, moms are accustomed to a variety of screening tests for conditions such as Down syndrome and diabetes. The rationale for these tests is not to make moms anxious about their pregnancy but to identify potential pregnancy problems to allow for timely intervention.

Moms have always known that movement is the best sign of their baby's well-being in utero. In fact, scientific studies indicate that kick counting, a daily record of moms' perception of their baby's movement during the third trimester, is a reliable, harmless, simple and effective screening for the baby's well-being.

Kick counting can document changes in the fetal movement pattern and can help moms-to-be alert their healthcare provider of potential problems. A timely evaluation can allow intervention and prevention of potential problems, including stillbirth.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)recommends kick counting as one of the methods to monitor pregnancy health, particularly for mothers who are past their due date or have diabetes or hypertension.

An expectant mother can distinctly perceive her baby's specific movement pattern by 24 weeks. Some babies tend to be more active at night, others in the morning or afternoon. Kick counting can be started at 28 weeks in normal pregnancies and as early as 24 weeks for complicated pregnancies. All expectant mothers should discuss kick counting with their healthcare provider.

There are different methods of kick counting and ACOG recommends that expectant mothers note the time it takes for their baby to complete ten movements, at approximately the same time each day when the baby is usually most active. Movements include kicks, jabs, rolls, twists, and turns.

Each baby and every pregnancy is different. Understanding that babies have sleep cycles can alleviate mothers' anxiety toward kick counting. In general , healthy babies should complete ten movements within two hours and most babies achieve this in less than 15 minutes. The healthcare provider should be alerted immediately of changes in the baby's normal pattern or if the baby takes more than two hours to complete ten movements.

Decreased fetal movement occurs in five percent to ten percent of all pregnancies. Data from 5,000 stillbirths revealed that 50 percent of the women perceived gradual decreased fetal movement several days prior to fetal death.

Recent Harvard Medical School studies have found that decreased fetal movement is associated with increased risk for stillbirth and concluded that health care providers should be educating women about the importance of fetal movement in an effort to reduce delay in intervention.

Even though a stillbirth may not be avoidable, families often feel outraged to learn about kick counting after the fact, as this simple method may have altered their outcome.
