Emily Price, CEO of Healthy Birth Day, Inc., leads the national expansion of the evidence-based Count the Kicks public health campaign, which educates and empowers expectant parents to monitor their baby's movements during the third trimester. This campaign has already made a significant impact, reducing stillbirth rates in Iowa by nearly 32% in its first decade, with a 39% decrease among Black birthing people in the first five years. Emily shares her personal connection to Count the Kicks, explains the importance of tracking fetal movements, and discusses how the campaign has evolved to save both babies and birthing peoples' lives. Learn how this simple practice can be a critical early warning sign for complications and how the free Count the Kicks app can help expectant parents everywhere.
