You don’t have to figure out the 4th trimester alone. Before your baby arrives, talk with your support system about how you’ll support safe sleep. 3rdtrimester: Count the Kicks 4th trimester: Practice the ABCs Share this with your support team! @IowaSids @IowaHHS

The safest choice is always the ABCs: Alone. Back. Crib. Every sleep. Third trimester: Count the Kicks. Fourth trimester: Practice safe sleep. @IowaSids @IowaHHS #stillbirth #stillbirthprevention #babykicks #countthekicks #kickcounting #ABCsofsleep #safesleep

Remember to monitor your baby’s movements every single day, at the same time of day, when your baby is most active.

Counting kicks is a simple way to learn your baby’s usual movement pattern during the third trimester and notice when something feels different. And remember, all movements (except hiccups) count - not just kicks! #babykicks #countthekicks #kickcounting
