We are excited to announce a new partnership with Elevance Health Foundation, which will allow us to expand or launch Count the Kicks<\/em> in seven states! Through this partnership, we will raise awareness about Count the Kicks <\/em>and the importance of fetal movement monitoring in the third trimester of pregnancy in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through partnership with Elevance Health Foundation, maternal health providers, birthing hospitals, social service agencies, childbirth educators and other providers in Virginia and Connecticut can order FREE Count the Kicks<\/em> educational materials<\/a> to help them have the kick counting conversation with expectant parents. FREE materials are also available in Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County in California. These materials include posters, brochures, and app download cards in English and Spanish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elevance Health Foundation and Count the Kicks<\/em> will also work together to address social determinants of health through a 4-question survey for all expectant parents utilizing the free app. The questions focus on barriers to accessing resources, and connect app users who are in need of additional assistance and support to free or reduced cost resources in their local community. These resources include things like diaper banks, food banks, housing assistance, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count the Kicks<\/em> Evidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology published new research<\/a> that shows a more than 30% reduction in Iowa\u2019s stillbirth rate in the first 10 years of the Count the Kicks<\/em> stillbirth prevention program at a time when America\u2019s stillbirth rate remained stagnant. The results have led researchers to call for urgent action to address the stillbirth crisis in the U.S. and to study Count the Kicks<\/em> on a national level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDC data shows that every year in the U.S. approximately 860 women will die from childbirth complications, and 22,300 babies will be stillborn. One in every 173 pregnancies in the U.S. ends in stillbirth, and the risk is even greater for Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous expectant parents and their pregnancies. For Black women in the U.S., 1 in every 97 pregnancies ends in stillbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this collaboration, Elevance is hoping to improve birth outcomes and reduce the stillbirth rate in each of the seven states.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
