Live Baby Save Event

Doing Good Things: It Takes a Village to Help Save Babies

On Nov. 27, 2023, we hosted a webinar where families whose lives have been impacted by the Count the Kicks program shared their stories in their own words. Destiny, Carly-Ann, and Emily discuss how getting to know their baby’s normal movement patterns helped their child to have a safe and healthy arrival. They also discuss the people in their village who helped encourage them to speak up when they noticed a change.

Dr. Jaleen Sims, an Ob/Gyn from Mississippi, also shares why she talks with expectant parents about Count the Kicks and why it’s important for all expectant parents to get to know their baby’s normal movement patterns in the third trimester.
