Kick Counting 101: The Simple Habit That Could Save Your Baby’s Life

Welcome back to The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast! Today we’re talking about one of the most powerful tools you can use to monitor your baby’s well-being in the third trimester: kick counting.

I’m joined by Kimberly Isburg from Count the Kicks, an incredible organization that’s helping parents all over the country improve birth outcomes and reduce stillbirth through awareness and education. Kimberly is a mama of two and a passionate advocate for maternal health – and I’m so excited for you to hear her wisdom and warmth.

Inside the episode, we’re covering:

• Why tracking baby’s movement matters so much in late pregnancy

• Common myths and misconceptions about fetal movement

• How to use the Count the Kicks method and app

• Tips for staying calm, confident, and connected to your baby

This one’s a must-listen – especially if you’re in your third trimester and want to feel empowered and informed 💛
