In this episode of The Push Podcast, L&D nurse Sydney and OBGYN Dr. Meghan sit down with Kimberly Isberg, Communications Director for Count the Kicks, to talk about fetal movement, kick counting, and the ongoing effort to reduce preventable stillbirths. Together, they discuss what normal fetal movement actually looks like in the third trimester, why changes in movement can matter, and how expectant parents can feel more empowered, recognizing their baby’s unique patterns.

The conversation also explores the history and evidence behind the Count the Kicks campaign, the emotional realities of stillbirth, common misconceptions about kick counting, and why many providers are working toward more consistent education around fetal movement awareness. This episode offers an evidence-based, compassionate look at an important and often overlooked conversation in pregnancy.
