Can I Customize the Pregnancy Weight Gain Goal?
The weekly weight gain goals are recommendations from U.S. national guidelines and are not customizable. They are based on your pre-pregnancy weight, which can be updated in your pregnancy settings.
Can I Time My Baby Movement?
Yes, you may add a start time, end time and a number of total movements for each baby movement session in your Garmin Connect account. The total duration of a baby movement session cannot be more than 10 hours.
Tracking baby movements can be recommended in the later weeks of pregnancy by health care providers, usually around week 28. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the typical method for counting baby movements is to track the amount of time it takes you to feel 10 movements, which is often two hours or less at this stage of pregnancy.
