Why Count the Kicks?  

Count the Kicks is an evidence-based program of Healthy Birth Day, Inc., a nonprofit organization founded by five women who each experienced a stillbirth or infant death. On average 69 babies are stillborn every year in Maine. We have the potential to save 1 in 3 at-risk babies in Maine - that's an average of 22 babies saved every year!
