Stillbirth is more common than many people realize. That鈥檚 why every mom should monitor movements during EVERY pregnancy.

Every conversation about stillbirth helps break the silence, reduce stigma and brings attention to the tragedy.
Please join us in raising awareness on National Stillbirth Prevention & Awareness Day. Sept. 19.

Did you know? Many moms who have experienced the tragedy of stillbirth report a complete lack of awareness that stillbirth was a possibility or that a change in their baby鈥檚 movement was an important issue to report to their provider.
