About Count the Kicks
In 2009, five women came from all walks of life and all had different stories to tell, but were connected by the fact that each one of them lost a daughter to late- term stillbirth or infant death. These remarkable women banded together and pledged to make a difference and decrease the stillbirth and infant death rate. And that, they have! Through their conversations and shared passion they founded the organization Healthy Birth Day and the Count the Kicks Campaign.
Count the Kicks teaches expectant parents the importance of monitoring their unborn baby’s movements during the third trimester of pregnancy with the goal of improving the chances of delivering a healthy baby and can prevent unexpected birth complications and even late-term stillbirth. Scientific studies indicate kick counting, a daily record of a baby’s movements (kicks, rolls, punches, jabs) during the third trimester, is an easy, free and reliable way to monitor a baby’s well-being in addition to regular prenatal visits.
Countless women have reached out to Count the Kicks to tell them that counting the kicks saved their baby’s life, including DMMB contributor Katie Cox who shared her story here.
