Fathering & Family · Rooted in Strength™

Safe Pregnancy Practices

Know. Notice. Speak Up. Fathers and partners can play an important role in supporting healthy pregnancies through education, awareness, communication and advocacy.

Through Rooted in Strength™, we connect families with educational resources from organizations working to advance pregnancy safety, stillbirth prevention, research and family advocacy.

Pregnancy Safety 01

Count the Kicks®

Know Your Baby’s Movements

Learn your baby’s usual movement patterns during the third trimester. If movements slow down, stop or change from what is normal for your baby, contact your maternity care team immediately. Do not wait until the next day. Fathers and partners can support daily movement awareness, listen to concerns and encourage prompt communication with the pregnancy care team.

PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy

Speak Up for Pregnancy Safety

Pregnancy safety includes asking questions, understanding concerns and communicating with prenatal care providers.
