Please make sure you know the real process for reporting reduced feral movements… 🙏

If you watch “This Is Going to Hurt” on BBC One please be aware of scenes with incorrect advice about baby movement in the final episodes.

The sheer number of people we’ve heard from about this is at least a little encouraging, it's clear that people are becoming increasingly aware that misinformation on popular TV shows has potentially dangerous consequences.

We won’t go into detail about what’s contained in the episodes to not further contribute to the misinformation but, instead, we’ll remind you of this:

A baby’s movements are a sign of their wellbeing. If someone tells you their baby has stopped moving, or movement has reduced or changed, please tell them to call their Maternity Unit without delay. If you notice your baby isn’t moving as much, or something seems wrong, trust your instincts. Your Maternity Unit team are there for you 24/7 and they want to support you.

Using a home doppler is actively discouraged by medical professionals and organisations due to the potential risk they pose. Your baby having a heartbeat doesn’t necessarily mean they’re well and reassurance given by them can be false. It’s vital that both of your health is checked by a medical professional as soon as possible if your baby’s movements worry you.

We’re contacting the BBC with our concerns and urge others to do the same.

For up-to-date information on your baby’s movements, including why you shouldn’t use a home doppler, please visit: www.kickscount.org.uk
