We can work together to save babies right now. In Iowa where the proven Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention program began, our state’s stillbirth rate has gone down nearly 32 percent in the past decade, and we've seen a promising 39 percent stillbirth rate reduction among Black women. This is exactly the kind of success we want to see in YOUR state. For years our nonprofit has brought evidence-based educational information to moms and providers to keep babies safe during the third trimester of pregnancy. Through our early warning system Count the Kicks, we have a community of moms who are in tune with their bodies and their babies, letting providers know when their baby’s movement feels off. Time and time again this system WORKS and babies have been saved in 33 states and 5 countries. Count the Kicks has now fully launched in 25 states --- and in an effort to make yours the next state --- we are hosting a quick but informative session so you can learn more about what it takes to bring Count the Kicks to your state.
