My Nonprofit Reviews

As a mother of a stillborn daughter I searched for resources to help me cope with pregnancy after loss. It was one of the most anxiety provoking times of my life. Healthy Birth Day helped to provide me with the research based, proven fetal movement campaign, Count the Kicks. By monitoring my baby’s movements each day, I found a sense of comfort and empowerment knowing I could identify potential problems with my baby. I built confidence in advocating for my baby by learning to speak up and trust my instincts. Thankfully, my beautiful rainbow baby was born healthy in 2016. I wish I had known more about Healthy Birth Day and Count the Kicks during my first pregnancy. It is painful to think that I may have been able to save my first daughter from preventable stillbirth with the knowledge I now have. Although my daughter can never be replaced and her presence is constantly missed, my rainbow has provided us with great joy and peace. I truly believe all expecting women need the knowledge that Healthy Birth day and Count the Kicks provided. No more babies need to die from preventable stillbirth.
