TESTIMONIALS
“Our Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) Project examines local cases of fetal and infant deaths. Through this process, we have observed many families who have been devastated by the birth of a stillborn baby, which may have been prevented by fetal movement monitoring. We are very excited about the Count the Kicks app and educational materials, as we have seen firsthand the lifesaving power of this education in our community."
