Count the Kicks Campaign
Web: www.countthekicks.org.uk
Chloe’s “Count the Kicks” Campaign want to raise awareness of the risks surrounding later stages of pregnancy and to empower expectant Mums to take responsibility of their own health and care and that of their unborn babies. We want to ensure expectant Mums work with their midwives and health care providers by being aware of the risks they could face during pregnancy and birth, and by being aware of their baby’s movements and development. We want to ensure every expectant Mum has the confidence to call for advice if they are worried at all.
