Count the Kicks - Bringing an evidence-based stillbirth prevention program to your setting

JUL 28, 2022
12:00 pm CDT


Count the Kicks is an evidence-based public health campaign that teaches expectant parents the method for and importance of counting their baby's kicks daily in the third trimester of pregnancy.  You are invited to attend a FREE 90-minute webinar on July 28 at Noon CST to learn more about the importance of educating on fetal movement monitoring in the third trimester and how to implement Count the Kicks in your setting. Join us to learn how you can help improve birth outcomes for expectant parents in Iowa by educating expectant parents on fetal movement monitoring.

Research shows a change in a baby’s movements could be the earliest and sometimes only indication that there may be an issue with a pregnancy. Count the Kicks is a SIMPLE and FREE way for expectant parents to self-monitor to improve the chance of delivering a healthy baby, and by doing so, reduce stillbirths, which occur in one out of every 169 pregnancies in the U.S., according to the CDC.

We hope you will join us on July 28 to learn more. Together, we can help to deliver more healthy babies and improve birth outcomes in Iowa.
