Together, we can make a difference for families in Wales

Up to the age of 5, a baby is over 15 times more likely to be stillborn than to die from SIDS, covid, meningitis, road deaths, drowning and Sepsis COMBINED 

While there isn’t a single cause of stillbirths, a change in movements can be an early warning sign that a baby is unwell, often before other symptoms appear. 

Kicks Count raises awareness of the importance of baby’s movements and encourages parents to report any change to their maternity unit immediately 

In 2023 there were 111 stillbirths in Wales alone.  

Your support will ensure that vital resources like wristbands, leaflets, and posters reach maternity units, midwives, and families across Wales. With your help, more babies will arrive safely.
