Count the Kicks WORKS and because of this community of believers we’ve grown from an evidence-based idea born out of loss to a global health initiative.

Here are just a few of the things we accomplished together in 2025:

🔵Surpassed 1 million lifetime Count the Kicks app downloads.
Trained more than 7,000 U.S. doctors, nurses, doulas and home visitors on Count the Kicks.
🔵Hosted our first large Community Baby Shower in Des Moines with more than 500 registrants.
🔵Led a symposium focusing on solutions to address our country's maternal health crisis, attracting more than 600 nurses, home visitors, doctors, researchers, doulas and public health officials.
🔵Distributed 1 million pieces of Count the Kicks education to nearly 3,500 locations.
🔵We collected 22 Count the Kicks baby save stories this year, bringing us to more than 160 baby saves in 38 states and 8 countries.
🔵Fourth Annual National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day brought a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, 20 illuminated buildings and bridges, and 23 proclamations across the U.S.

Oh, what fun we’ve been having this past week!

Expectant parents were celebrated at the Healthy Start New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Resource Fair & Citywide Baby Shower, and our New York Count the Kicks Ambassador, Melissa, hosted a table to help shower them with movement monitoring information.

Indiana Ambassador, Kristen Secviar, hosted a table at the Community "Locally Grown" Baby Shower, where she shared our bright yellow Count the Kicks program with expectant parents.

Erica Aitken, Georgia Ambassador, dropped off Count the Kicks materials, antepartum bundles, and other fun goodies at Northside Hospital (home of a few Count the Kicks baby saves!).

1 in every 185 pregnancies in the U.S. end in stillbirth. That’s not rare. In fact, that is over 20,000 babies every year that are born still here in the United States.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Stillbirths and poor birth outcomes can be preventable. That’s why we created Count the Kicks, the proven solution to prevent stillbirth in the U.S.
