“I want to raise awareness of reduced movements and the importance of self-advocacy.” —Kate's story

When Kate noticed her baby wasn’t moving as much at seven months, she spoke up. The same day, Gabriel was safely delivered by C‑section and spent five weeks being looked after in NICU.

Kate’s story is a reminder of the importance of advocating for yourself and your baby. 💙
