It’s finally the New Year, which means it’s with great excitement that I’m proudly displaying my new Count The Kicks Calendar!

Count The Kicks is a registered charity raising awareness of reduced movements in pregnancy and how getting medical immediately may help prevent a stillbirth. Tragically 17 babies die everyday from stillbirth or neonatal death.  Not something any pregnant woman wants to think about, but it’s vitally important and I urge you to check out their site for more information. You never know, it might just save your baby.

The calendar came about as a national competition to help raise awareness, and I was thrilled when the photo I took of my wonderful mum-to-be Isabel Turkington was awarded the month of June. If you don’t yet have a calendar for 2012, they are on sale at their online store www.countthekicks.co.uk, and all procedes go to the charity.
