This is a really important nonprofit pushing for a simultaneously rampant & forgotten issue — the end to preventable stillbirth in the United States. I say rampant and forgotten because stillbirth is tragically more common that most people realize, and historically it has been taboo to speak about. PUSH mobilizes an amazing collective of volunteer activists to change healthcare norms across the country and empower pregnant people to protect themselves and their babies.
Push For Empowered Pregnancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting expectant parents and healthcare providers with crucial information on life-saving Stillbirth prevention techniques. Their mission is clear: to empower parents by equipping them with essential knowledge that can make a significant difference during pregnancy and childbirth.
One of the standout features of Push For Empowered Pregnancy is their commitment to education. Through comprehensive resources and workshops, they ensure that parents understand the latest techniques and strategies for preventing Stillbirth, a condition that can affect pregnancies. This proactive approach not only educates but also empowers parents to take informed decisions about their health and that of their babies.
Additionally, the organization offers invaluable group support sessions every month. These sessions serve as a vital platform for parents to connect, share experiences, and receive emotional support from others facing similar challenges. This sense of community fosters resilience and provides a supportive network during what can be an emotionally charged time.
What sets Push For Empowered Pregnancy apart is their dedication to bridging the gap between medical knowledge and parental empowerment. By advocating for proactive prevention measures and facilitating supportive environments, they play a crucial role in improving maternal and infant health outcomes.
In conclusion, Push For Empowered Pregnancy is not just a nonprofit organization; it is a beacon of hope and support for expectant parents navigating the complexities of pregnancy. Their emphasis on education, community support, and empowerment makes them a commendable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their pregnancy journey with knowledge and solidarity.

PUSH was one of the biggest supports when we lost my niece, Rowan in 2021. Their commitment to their members in unparalleled and provides such important value for families of loss.
I wouldn't be holding my double rainbow baby boy in my arms without PUSH for empowered pregnancy!
Their pregnancy tips, guidance, and support helped me advocate during my pregnancy with him! PUSH helped me be empowered with decision making with each Dr. appointment that I had during all my prenatal care! I have learned so much about knowing your baby & body best! Listening to your mama instincts, and to be vocal and speak up if I notice a change. I learned about kick counting and how to track my babies movements! Every expecting parent should be able to feel empowered & informed and to feel confident and know all risks & benefits! PUSH helped me to address concerns and ask questions to my team of drs. To not leave until I felt reassured. I felt no page was left un-turned. I love being a Change maker with PUSH, it's gave me the chance to Push for change in honor of my angel babies Carter & Adelynn. No families should have to endure the lifelong tragedy and trauma of losing their childen to stillbirth, when it could of been prevented. I have found a whole new way of loving my angel babies aloud while pushing for better maternal and prenatal care! We want to make sure more families get to bring home healthy babies! I love this nonprofit organization with my whole heart and am so thankful and grateful to be a part of their mission!
Thank you for being advocates for moms and babies everywhere! The world is a better place because of people like you, turning your tragedy and pain into purpose and helping others. Your work is impactful and will improve care for future generations. Thank you!
Thank you will never be enough for advocating for our precious babies! I miss our Allison Sue every day - she should be here.
I stumbled upon this nonprofit shortly after losing my son to an umbilical cord accident. At first, I was an admirer, and then another bereaved mother encouraged me to get involved. This incredible group of human beings, with the love that pours from their own broken hearts, have helped to mend my broken heart. It is such an honor to work alongside other bereaved parents in honor of our children, and I am SO PROUD of the work PUSH has done in only a couple of years.
Thank you for doing the hard work. You have impacted many through your dedication to save babies. Keep up to good work.
After I experienced the death and stillbirth of my daughter at 38 weeks pregnant I was completely in shock. She was my fifth baby. In all my pregnancies I heard stillbirth only referenced briefly when I was close to going over due. So when she died, I thought I was the only person to go through it, I believed what they told me “lightning struck.” It never sat right with me as my pregnancy had been monitored by an MFM for a two vessel cord. I was receiving more than the standard of care was reassured constantly that she was well and I didn’t even need to return after 34 weeks. She ended up also having a cord knot (the third of my children to have one) that clotted. I learned that even if the knot had been noted, my care wouldn’t have changed as they are treated casually. There are specific moments in my care where I felt that if handled differently we could have had a better chance at saving my daughter. Like when I noticed decreased movements and a decel on her NST. I was restless and unable to make peace and started to question things. I began listening and reading to more and more stillbirth stories, learning how I was not the only one this happened too. I learned about PUSH for empowered pregnancy on a podcast they were on, and was so appreciative to find people that were out there speaking about stillbirth and busting myths and fighting and making corrections to gaps in healthcare. They have so many resources for families and are a completely inclusive organization. They are truly selfless and want to make change. I wish I learned about them BEFORE stillbirth and it bothered me that organizations like PUSH are not apart of standard prenatal care, largely because of the stigma that still remains around stillbirth. I appreciate PUSH and know they will make big changes in the USA and potentially other countries as well one day.
PUSH is an incredible organization! They are so supportive of everyone and their story. They’re really making a wonderful impact on such a challenging experience
When my son was stillborn I was completely lost. I needed to find a community that understood what I was going through and who could help me navigate the landscape of stillbirth and baby loss. PUSH is not only that community, but they use their love of their babies and their pain of loss to fuel their passion to end preventable stillbirth and help keep babies and moms safe. The endless passion, drive and change from this group is amazing to watch.
Great nonprofit that helps spread awareness and connection for mothers like myself who’ve experienced a stillbirth.
I'm so glad I found PUSH! They help me to find my voice as I navigate advocacy work for Stillbirth awareness. There are days I'm tired but I'll tap into Push for just that the push to keep going.
After losing my son back in 2022 I found push for empowered pregnancy which helped me through the hardest time of my life. With their support and some guidance in addition to trips to the Rainbow Clinic in New York City I delivered a healthy baby girl. I am confident that being taught to use my mom voice got my daughter to safely.
Volunteering for PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy has given me an outlet for the grief and rage over our middle son Owen’s unexpected death after a “textbook” perfect pregnancy. PUSH is a community of passionate bereaved parents who are committed to ending preventable stillbirths in America and are working tirelessly at every angle for this neglected public health crisis to be addressed. We are honored to be able to join forces with other non-profits, medical providers and advocates to leverage our collective power and raise our voices for all babies gone too soon and appreciate the support we’ve received for this important mission. Our children should all have a fighting chance against stillbirth, which sadly ours did not. PUSH will continue to demand change so that fewer families will suffer the lifelong trauma and grief that we are having to endure.
I am lucky to have found such a remarkable group of advocates. We are all working tirelessly to prevent stillbirth from happening to more families. PUSH has accomplished so much from advocacy to providing support in just 2 years.
I am the grandmother of Aurora, a full term baby girl born still in October of 2020 after a normal healthy pregnancy. Prior to my granddaughter's death I thought stillbirth was something that happened back in the day. I now know that it happens 65 times a day, every single single day, all across the US.
Many stillbirths are preventable, especially late term losses. I believe my granddaughter was one of them. Through a variety of platforms PUSH For Empowered Pregnancy has taken the lead in breaking the deadly silence surrounding stillbirth. They are correcting commonly held misbeliefs such as babies slow down at the end of pregnancy. They are pushing for legislation and standard of care changes that will educate and empower pregnant people, their families and providers so that more families leave the hospital with their baby instead of a memory box and a lifetime of grief and what ifs. There mission to end preventable stillbirth is something that will have a lasting impact for generations to come. I am so very grateful for the work they are doing.

Born still October 2020.
Over the last year of volunteering with this nonprofit, I've seen the tremendous growth and passion this team has for empowering every pregnant person. Ending preventable stillbirth can and will happen! I look forward to many more years to come!
PUSH is doing incredible work in bringing awareness about the silent public health crisis of stillbirth. They are an all-volunteer team of passionate people that are committed to educating and advocating for parents and parents to be. I am inspired by their work every day.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy is an important and wonderful organization that is raising awareness and working to move the political needle with respect to stillbirths. Families experiencing a stillbirth are subjected to extreme emotional, physical, and financial hardships, and PUSH is working to help these families, but also prevent others from having to experience a stillbirth in the first place.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy is so amazing, empowering and educational! A true non-profit that every single thing is done by volunteers only. They are diverse, inclusive and only want everyone to have a chance to a healthy birth outcome. Everyone on the team is so dedicated to saving babies and changing legislature. In only a year so many accomplishments have been met and already so many baby save stories!
I appreciate this organization's efforts to end preventable stillbirth and save the loved and wanted children, like my first grandson, who died of stillbirth at 39 weeks.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy and their volunteers are truly making positive changes in our society when it comes to pregnancy education for patients and providers, advocacy, policy change, and efforts to reduce and prevent stillbirth. These topics will or do affect many across the globe and PUSH’s staff and volunteers work tirelessly to help others and ensure that families do not have to endure the horrible loss of a child as many of the team have tragically experienced. A tremendous nonprofit to work with and support!
I loved the symposium. I'm a mother of a still baby boy named Tilsyn Francis Rogers. I learned mantis from watching and I knew I wanted to be a part of this. I'm doing my first live stream on Friday and I can't wait.
This is an effective and efficient team of people impacted by stillbirth and determined to change outcomes for current and future families. Well organized, strategic and powerfully motivated. Outstanding leadership.
PUSH is unique because they tackle the very complex issue of ending preventable stillbirth from so many angles! They've organized two professional symposiums with a powerful lineup of speakers including doctors who are world experts in stillbirth, organize regular live talks with doctors and bereaved parents, including a celebrity, and maintain a strong social media presence to directly teach pregnant mothers how to do kick counts and advocate for their babies when they sense something is wrong. It's an incredible organization!
PUSH has helped normalize what was once a taboo discussion and in it, helped me too find my voice on what questions to ask and how I can help others.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy is an amazing organization. As a someone who has lost a child to preventable stillbirth, I am so happy that PUSH exists to raise awareness and help to put end to preventable stillbirth.
This charity has been an incredible resource to me after losing my 32 week pregnancy, baby Fox. Many of the women in this org have helped me grieve, connect me to resources for our next pregnancy, helped me learn why we lost our pregnancy, and so much more . I'm so indebted to them.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy is a profound non-profit with hardworking volunteers all across the United States working endlessly advocating for the prevention of stillbirths. The people working here are so inspiring and hardworking, that I myself have found myself matching that passion and working hard to publicize the re-education of protocols to my community on such an under valued topic. I am so grateful to do my part in this organization for such an amazing cause.
PUSH is attempting to fill a huge void in the treatment of pregnant people in America. The mission is specifically to lower preventable stillbirth and this by necessity includes standing up for the rights of all pregnant people, trying to reduce their mortality as well as that of their babies. It is absolutely personal to me as I lost my first daughter, Marian, to a preventable stillbirth. I recommend this organization to anyone who has lost a baby, who has a friend or family member who lost a baby, and to anyone who has not lost a baby and wants to keep it that way!
Push Pregnancy is an amazing organization striving to end preventable stillbirth. It is unacceptable that in this day there are still over 24,000 stillbirths every year. The incredible work being done will provide lasting change in perinatal care. Being a loss mom myself they have empowered me to take action and prevent this unthinkable tragedy from happening to another family.
As the Co-Director of Awareness I feel honored to work tirelessly alongside fellow loss families to re-educate the public and the medical community on safe pregnancy protocols to help prevent stillbirths. Unfortunately the misinformation that allowed our son Owen to die in 2015 is still circulating today, so we aren’t taking our time dealing with this crisis. We are constantly pushing for change through bold awareness campaigns, regular discussions on multiple social media platforms with families and birth workers, developing Rainbow Clinics to provide compassionate and thorough care for loss parents, and so much more! I am thankful to have an outlet for my grief where I can direct all my anger at our broken system and channel it into pushing for change to help other families bring their babies home safely in memory of all our babies. Owen #stillcounts & so do the 23,000 or more babies a year that are stillborn. We won’t stop fighting to end this crisis and are grateful for all the support we have received from families, policy makers, and the medical community alike because this is an issue that affects the whole country and it will take all of us to solve it. Join us!
PUSH is a wonderful organization that partners with families and medical professionals to drive awareness and advocacy to end preventable stillbirth, a largely ignored public health issue. PUSH changemakers are compassionate, driven and informed. I am fortunate to volunteer for this organization to help achieve this ambitious goal.
PUSH is a remarkable organization that is taking on health care while challenging modern medicine and practices all while changing the world in regard preventable stillbirths amongst women. PUSH is opening the discussion on what could be done as well as signs women should be noting during the pregnancy to prevent stillbirths. As someone who has witnessed their mother go through two miscarriages and had to handle the losses of two babies all while coping with her mental and physical health, I can proudly say PUSH is fighting for real change and the outcome is going to change history and leave an impact in health care.
PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy is an amazing nonprofit organization that exemplifies the passion, dedication and nonstop hard work put into bringing awareness and decreasing stillbirths in the United States. This ranges from preventable knowledge prior to birth, knowing the pattern of your child’s movement during pregnancy, aiding expecting families, and improving pregnancy outcomes! The team is compromised of mothers who have experienced stillbirth and how their stories have inspired so many other people to join the cause, tell their own stories and come up with different ways to rectify and tackle this devastating issue.
PUSH is an incredible organization that is taking concrete steps to prevent families from experiencing the worst pain imaginable, the loss of their very loved babies. I am a loss mom myself, and have been so impressed by the PUSH team and their dedication to fighting to reduce preventable stillbirth. This organization is incredibly welcoming, hardworking, and fierce, and I know is going to make huge strides to improve the state of prenatal care.
I love volunteering for PUSH because as a victim of preventable stillbirth, I know there is so much work to be done to end these tragedies and PUSH is empowering parents to do just that. I am excited for the future because change is already happening.
After having a full-term stillbirth, I found that in my subsequent pregnancy I had to advocate for myself and my baby for additional testing and monitoring, and I didn't know where to start. The founders of this organization helped and supported me through that stressful and anxiety-filled process. Pushing for my needs helped the doctors identify a potential issue that otherwise would have been missed, and my baby was born healthy and alive.
My passion and respect for this nonprofit, its members, and its mission is indescribable. This dedicated group of loss parents is taking real action to empower women, improve healthcare, and save the lives of many children by reducing the stillbirth rate. To everyone involved in PUSH: thank you!
I’m at awe of this nonprofit. It gathered the most skilled and energetic people, they have been able to accomplish so much at such little time! PUSH is really dedicated to end preventable stillbirth and I don’t doubt they will! They are organized, driven, empathetic and warm to any loss mom; grandma; dad; grandpa or friends.
This group has been so important in my healing journey as a loss mom. The work this team is doing to end stillbirth is obviously a cause near and dear to my heart. The information they are sharing is really helping end this problem that doesn't get enough attention. There are so many causes they are involved in and so many people they are caring for. I'm beyond grateful for finding this group and their compassion.
PUSH is a phenomenal non-profit committed to ending preventable stillbirths. What I love about the organization is that it is led by fellow loss mothers that personally know the generational effects of stillbirth of families and society at large. They are unique in their singular commitment to end this painful legacy in the United States and ultimately the world. No parent should know the pain of preventable stillbirth. 24K babies lost every year in the US is too many for a developed nation and I’m grateful for the work PUSH is doing.
I love the values and mission of this volunteer run organization. They are driven and motivated to end preventable stillbirth.
Push is working hard to reduce preventable stillbirth! I am so motivated by these mothers who have turned their grief into action to get the word out about stillbirth prevention, to fight against the oft repeated lie that "sometimes these things just happen".
