Feel the Beat
Counting kicks is a great way to bond with your baby, even for partners and siblings. The Feel the Beat Campaign follows expectant parents Clara and Jaden, who make a tradition of dancing with their daughter and counting her kicks. Watch to see what happens when Clara notices a change in their baby’s movement.
You can help us make kick counting a common practice for all expectant parents by sharing this video and the free Count the Kicks app with the people you love.
Stillbirth Facts
The CDC estimates that more than 21,000 babies in the U.S. are born still each year. Disparities in stillbirth outcomes persist, and data shows that a disproportionate number of babies are born still to Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native families. Expectant parents in some age groups, geographic locations, and those expecting multiples also face an increased risk of stillbirth.
