I have always had a profound passion for babies, thus it is not a surprise that this story pulled on my heart strings. The story of these ladies is truly informative and can be extremely beneficial for whomever decides to have a child one day. Count the Kicks is a campaign formed by a group of women from Des Moines, Idaho who endured the loss of a child “associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth” (Kilen, 2017), or decreased fetal movement during the pregnancy process.
When this group of ladies started to form, they all discovered that other mothers who informed them that they too had endured the same hardship prior to them also included women who had babies die in the 1960s, a time when it was kept a secret.
