Here are the key statistics Hilary shares about fetal movement and kick counts before birth:
- When states and hospitals actively teach fetal movement awareness and kick counting, stillbirth can drop by about 30–32% (shown in large projects in Iowa and Norway).
- Roughly one-third of stillbirths may be preventable when parents are taught to notice and act on changes in movement.
- People who track fetal movement are more likely to detect babies who are not growing well (IUGR), without increasing unnecessary interventions.
