Reminder of our CE workshop next week!! Wednesday April 17. Even if you don't need Continuing Education credits (CEs), this workshop is a must. There's so much misinformation around fetal movement. Birthing people and those who care for them need accurate information. Register via the QR Code or SaferBirthsNow.com

We're thrilled to announce a Continuing Education (CE) workshop in partnership with Count The Kicks, "Count The Kicks: A Fetal Monitoring Workshop; A Discussion for Providers." This workshop is designed to empower healthcare providers with essential knowledge and tools to reduce the incidence of stillbirths through education and proactive monitoring. Did you know that each year in the United States, approximately 21,000 babies are stillborn? This staggering statistic underscores the urgent need for effective interventions to prevent such tragedies. Originating from Norway's groundbreaking research, which demonstrated a remarkable 30% reduction in stillbirth rates, Count The Kicks is a program dedicated to educating pregnant women about monitoring fetal movement during the third trimester through daily kick counts. This simple yet powerful practice has been shown to reduce the risk of stillbirth significantly. Led by expert facilitators Joy Baker, MD, FACOG, PMH-C, C-EFM, MT(ASCP), and Christine T., and supported by evidence-based insights, this workshop promises to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to make a tangible difference in reducing stillbirth rates within their communities. Join us in this vital conversation and take part in shaping a future where every baby has the opportunity to thrive.
