My Nonprofit Reviews

After experiencing a stillbirth at 32 weeks during my first pregnancy (which was, according to doctors, perfectly healthy and low risk) every subsequent pregnancy has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Healthy Birth Day, Inc.'s public health campaign, Count the Kicks has given me the tools and education I desperately needed to bond with my babies and be aware of their normal movement patterns. It doesn't completely take the anxiety away (nothing can) but it has been a huge benefit to my mental health during three pregnancies after loss. I became an Ambassador for Count the Kicks with the goal of raising awareness among anyone I come in contact with. Hopefully it will be common knowledge worldwide and help reduce preventable stillbirth.
