Dr. Diep Nguyen on MommyFest

babykick's Dr. Diep Nguyen discussed kick counting with Marie on MommyFest. We're really excited to spread the word about fetal movement's role in pregnancy health. Check out what some of the listeners wrote after listening to Dr. Nguyen on MommyFest:

"How shocked I am to see this topic come up right away. I applaud Dr. Diep Nguyen’s efforts and wish I had had KickTrak 2.5 years ago. We lost our 2nd son Jaxon to a stillbirth when I was 37 weeks. Sadly, I knew there was decreased movement, told our doc that something was not right, and was sent home because I was only 36.5 weeks. I had a condition known as polyhydramnios with each pregnancy and b/c of excess fluid, thought that was why I could not feel the movement. However, most likely what happened is the extra fluid put pressure on his cord to cause a prolapse. It was a devestating experience that could have been prevented. If you are expecting, PLEASE invest in a KickTrak so you have something to prompt you to count kicks consistently and then share with your doctor. The statistic we were given is that 1/100 babies is stillborn…that is TOO HIGH given all of the technology we have in our world today." -Mommy Mentor

"Thank you for choosing the subject of stillbirth and the importance of kickcounting as one of your Mommyfest topics. My first born daughter was stillborn in 2003.

I, along with some NY parents, am working to pass the Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth bill. More information on the New York State bill can be found on http://www.CBRSbill.blogspot.com. All other states can visit http://www.missingangelsbill.org.

Thank you for bringing this subject to many readers." - Paige
