We are excited to announce our new web-based kick counting platform is live! This new tool<\/a> allows expectant parents to track their baby\u2019s movements on a desktop or laptop computer, and makes kick counting more accessible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The web counter is a great option for expectant parents who don\u2019t have access to a mobile device or tablet. Expectant parents can even track their baby\u2019s movement on a computer at the public library or at a friend\u2019s house! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use the Web Counter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get started, visit startcounting.countthekicks.org<\/a> and click the \u201cStart Counting\u201d button in the middle of the page. You can start counting right away for a single baby or twins! Sign in or create an account to keep track of all of your sessions, create reminders, and more! For those who are logged in, kick counting data from the web counter will sync with the mobile app, so you can count on the web or in the mobile app and see your session history over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your baby reaches 10 movements, the web counter will ask you to rate the strength of your baby\u2019s movements and allow you to add any notes on that day\u2019s kick counting session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Kick Counting Accessible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make kick counting accessible for all expectant parents in the third trimester of pregnancy. We are excited to add this new tool to make it easier for expectant parents to get to know their baby\u2019s normal movement patterns and empower them to speak up if they notice a change,\u201d said Megan Aucutt, Program Director for Healthy Birth Day, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free Count the Kicks<\/em> app is available to download in 16 languages in the iOS and Google Play app stores. The new web-based kick counter is also available to use in 16 languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for the Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We would like to thank the Polk County Supervisors<\/a>, Prairie Meadows<\/a>, Polk County Early Childhood Iowa<\/a>, and Microsoft<\/a> for their support to help develop a web-based kick counting platform. We are also grateful for the generous support of Count the Kicks<\/em> Ambassadors Jillian Wolley, Heather<\/a> Johnston-Welliver, Danielle<\/a> Barkley, and Emily<\/a> McConnell. Their fundraising efforts allowed us to turn the web-based kick counter into a reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio Ambassador Heather Johnston Welliver organizes Lydie\u2019s Loop:<\/a> Steps Against Stillbirth each fall to increase awareness, support research, promote education, and encourage advocacy and family support regarding stillbirth. Ambassadors Danielle Barkley and Emily McConnell organize Walk of Remembrance:<\/a> Miles for Margaret, Lydia and All Babies Gone Too Soon each fall in South Carolina. Jillian Wolley raised funds over several years in honor of her daughter Dorie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
