Emerson was saved through counting her kicks and knowing her movements. Emerson was a very active baby, and would typically get her ten kicks within 3 minutes. This particular day was taking 50-65 minutes. The difference in movement was unsettling and enough for us to head in to get checked out. Our team of doctors did all of the test and determined that Emerson needed to come out, something was not right. Emerson was delivered via c-section and came out screaming. Those cries were some of the best sounds I have ever heard. Her umbilical cord was starting to wrap around her neck, and her doctor had said things could have escalated very quickly if we had not come in when we did.
I frequently think of that day and night, and and eternally grateful for doctors and nurses who educated me on Counting the Kicks, and what to do if things were different than normal. Because of the education we received we were able to act when we needed to, and our doctors brought Emerson into this world safely.
This organization means so much to us, and we are so thankful that we can help raise awareness, funds, and be a voice for such an important cause.
Thank you for considering a donation to Count the Kicks so other babies can have a Healthy Birthday like Emmy!
