Every pregnancy is different - but one message is the same.

💬 “I wish every pregnant patient knew…”

Nurses and maternal health professionals at AWHONN are sharing what matters most when it comes to your baby’s movements.
If something feels off, trust that feeling.

Counting kicks can help you learn what’s normal for your baby.

No matter who you are, where you live, or what your family looks like, you deserve access to resources that support a healthy pregnancy.

Count the Kicks is a free tool designed to help expectant parents learn their baby's movement patterns, recognize potential warning signs, and have informed conversations with their healthcare provider.

Together, we can work toward safer pregnancies and healthier birth outcomes for all.

Did you know that counting your baby’s kicks can actually reduce anxiety? We mentioned this the other day, but our app users have said it reduced their anxiety during the third trimester!

Here's how to monitor your baby's movements:

Pay attention to your baby’s movements every day - preferably at the same time. Try to pick a time when your baby is normally active.

Time how long it takes your baby to get to 10 movements, and rate the strength of your baby’s movements.

After a few days, you will begin to see an average length of time it takes your baby to reach 10 movements.

Call your provider right away if you notice a change in strength of movements or how long it takes your baby to get to 10 movements.

Use the FREE Count the Kicks app or web counter. Or, visit CountTheKicks.org to download a paper movement monitoring chart.

It’s time to start counting! Send this to your pregnant friends!

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common infection passed from mothers to babies during pregnancy.

There’s no cure for CMV, but there are steps that can be taken in order to prevent spreading it, including:
-Avoiding kisses on the lips.
-Not eating/drinking after toddlers.
-Practicing good hand hygiene.

According to the March of Dimes, CMV can be passed to your baby at any time during pregnancy. But you are more likely to pass it on if you get infected for the first time during pregnancy or if a past CMV infection becomes active again, especially in the 3rd trimester. CMV can lead to birth defects and lower the likelihood of having a positive birth outcome.

Another incredible year at the AWHONN National Convention for Count the Kicks and Healthy Birth Day, Inc. 💙

We had the opportunity to connect with thousands of nurses, maternal health professionals, advocates, and hospital leaders who are passionate about improving birth outcomes and saving babies’ lives. From meaningful conversations at our booth to sharing the importance of monitoring baby’s movements, every interaction reinforced why this work matters.

Hearing professionals talk about how Count the Kicks is impacting conversations with patients, and seeing the commitment to stillbirth prevention and maternal health across the country left our team feeling hopeful and energized.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, shared your stories, and asked questions. Thank you for continuing to advocate for moms and babies every day. We are grateful to stand alongside so many people working to create safer pregnancies and healthier outcomes for all families.

Until next year, !
