Kick Counting is a technique of determining the health of your baby during the 2nd and 3rd Trimesters of Pregnancy that has become more mainstream in recent history. Making a note of your baby's regular activity is quite simple. During this interview with Kerry and Dan, Dr. Diep Nguyen of the Baby Kick Alliance explains how this practice can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy and ease an expectant mom's mind. She also discusses the topics of stillbirth, risk factors, and why it's important for moms to be vigilant and confident. All that and more on this focus episode of Baby Time!
