Healthy Birth Day, Inc. is proud to be supporting the second annual National Home Visitors Week (April 20-24, 2026).

This week focuses on raising awareness about home visitors and the role they play in improving maternal and infant health. Utilizing a variety of evidence-based models, home visiting supports healthy birth outcomes, increases family self-sufficiency and helps children enter school fully prepared to succeed.

We’re grateful to all of the home visitors who utilize our tools and resources to educate expectant parents on the importance of monitoring their baby’s movements in the third trimester of pregnancy. Home visitors play an important role in helping to educate and empower expectant parents, and we’re proud to be one of the many organizations supporting the Congressional Resolution designating April 20-24 as National Home Visitors Week.

Iowa went from the 33rd worst stillbirth rate to one of the lowest in the nation in just five years. This dramatic drop happened while the rest of the country remained relatively stagnant, according to the CDC.

We want to bring the same success that we have seen in Iowa to the rest of the country. When we see a 32% reduction nationwide, we will be saving more than 6,000 babies every year.

Research shows a change in a baby's movement can be the earliest and sometimes only sign a baby may be in distress, and is an indication that both mom and baby should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away.

Count the Kicks offers providers and families a way to have a conversation about stillbirth in a positive and empowering way. By making fetal movement monitoring easy and accessible for moms everywhere, Count the Kicks is sending the right moms in at the right time.

Oh, the places Count the Kicks has been!

Our ambassadors and staff have been hard at work sharing our life-saving tools with expectant parents and healthcare professionals.

Naya, our Community Impact Manager, recently attended the Sexual and Reproductive Health Conference where she connected with partners to spark new ideas for community impact. Naya also attended the Baby Bloom family event with Jamie Engle, one of our community volunteers.

Our Kansas City Ambassador, Erica Bailey, set up a table and shared our brightly colored handouts and kicking tools with expectant parents at a community baby shower!

McKinsey Cirulnick, Montana Ambassador and State Expansion Director, Sarah Coleman, attended the Babes in Bozeman Baby Expo - educating families about the importance of monitoring movements during the third trimester.

And finally, La-Shonda attended the Nurturing Together Community Baby Shower and Resource Fair in Alabama.

Where will you find Count the Kicks next?

Talking about stillbirth leads to awareness, and awareness creates change.

In order to lower the incidence of stillbirth, we need to talk about it. Every expectant family should receive prevention tools (like Count the Kicks) and understand any risk factors.
