Count the Kicks Volunteer Ambassador, DC & MD
Healthy Birth Day, Inc.
Thalia Washington is the Maryland/Washington, DC Ambassador for Count The Kicks. Serving as an Ambassador is an opportunity to honor the memory of her second daughter, Neve, who was unexpectedly born still in 2015 at 40 weeks. After Neve’s death, Thalia researched stillbirth and was shocked and angered to learn how common stillbirth still is, how racial disparities made her as a Black woman twice as likely to experience the trauma of stillbirth, and how little providers had talked to her about the need to carefully monitor her baby’s movements every day through the end of pregnancy. Thalia found Count the Kicks when she was blessed with a third pregnancy and used the app to track her movements daily through the third trimester until her daughter was safely delivered – beautiful and alive.
