At a Total Loss

Ana + Owen


Listen Later

Ana Vick's son Owen was stillborn on October 3, 2015.  Since then, she has set her sites on advocacy, prevention, education, and awareness.  

 

Ana is known as Still My Son on social media where she finds support and inspiration to continue pushing for change in memory of all babies gone too soon. Although she would much rather have her son in her arms, she proudly parents Owen through her activism and role as Co-Director of Communications of PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy (a stillbirth prevention non-profit she helped found with other bereaved families in 2021). As part of the Count the Kicks Influencer Advisory Board she leads targeted efforts to outreach to Latinx/Spanish speaking communities because every parent deserves to know how to protect their baby through fetal movement education. She is also a Measure the Placenta advocate pushing for this measurement (known as EPV) to become a standard of prenatal care to save vulnerable babies with small placentas from stillbirth. In addition, Ana is helping to spread “Womb Wisdom” through her new educational platform, Sacred Birth Circle, where she interviews maternal health experts & birthing parents to help families be better informed for their pregnancy and birth journeys.
