There are an average of 745 stillbirths in Ohio each year.

In 2018 the Count the Kicks program expanded into Ohio through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Health. UnitedHealthcare has been a significant partner in improving birth outcomes with us in Ohio since 2022.

Since our program expanded to Ohio, we have heard from five Ohio families who credit Count the Kicks with helping their baby have a safe arrival! We are actively working to save more lives in Ohio, with the ultimate goal of helping communities drive down the stillbirth rate.

Today is World Preeclampsia Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the impact this condition has on expectant mothers and their babies.

Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that affects thousands of women every year. A change in a baby's movements can be the first or only indication there may be an issue with a pregnancy (like preeclampsia) and is an indication that both mom and baby should be checked by a healthcare professional right away.

Women most at risk for severe maternal health outcomes may also be at higher risk for stillbirth based on pre-existing or demographic characteristics and conditions related to their stillbirth, such as .

By being aware of the warning signs and symptoms, and seeking medical attention promptly, we can reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.

The first annual Jog for James: To End Preventable Stillbirth event was an overwhelming success!

On May 17, 17 teams, 204 participants and generous sponsors gathered at the Community Playfields in Wilmette, Illinois to honor more than 23 loved and missed babies.

We are thrilled to report that Jogging for James raised more than $47,000 to support Healthy Birth Day, Inc. and our Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention program. This incredible impact was made possible by James’ mom, Kathleen McCoy, a Count the Kicks Illinois Ambassador, who created and organized the event.

Jogging for James would not be possible without the incredible support of the presenting sponsors: Rush University System for Health, RSM US LLP Foundation, and AbbVie.

We would like to extend our immense gratitude to everyone who registered, donated, attended, volunteered and supported the event in its first year. We can’t wait to show you the impact of your support!

Stillbirth is defined as the loss of a baby during pregnancy at 20 weeks or greater gestation. Across the U.S., an average of more than 20,000 babies are lost to stillbirth every year. Statistically, that means 1 out of every 185 pregnancies ends in stillbirth, and around 60 families endure the tragedy of stillbirth every day.

Se define como “mortinatalidad” a la pérdida del bebé durante el embarazo a las 20 semanas de gestación o más. En todos los EE. UU., se pierden un promedio de más de 20,000 bebés cada año a causa de la mortinatalidad. En términos estadísticos, eso significa que 1 de cada 185 embarazos termina en mortinatalidad y que alrededor de 60 familias sufren la tragedia de la mortinatalidad cada día.

A change in a baby's movements can be the first or only indication there may be an issue with a pregnancy (like preeclampsia) and is an indication that both mom and baby should be checked by a healthcare professional right away.

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month, and we are encouraging expectant parents to learn the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia, monitor their baby’s movements daily in the third trimester, and speak up if something feels different.
