GPs urged to focus on fetal movement in first stillbirth clinical standard
Discussions about stillbirth need to feature prominently during antenatal visits, Associate Professor Liz Marles says
GPs are being advised to routinely discuss fetal movements with pregnant women during antenatal visits and to create an action plan in the event they change, according to Australia’s first clinical standard on stillbirth.
Launched on Friday, the new guide aims to reduce stillbirth rates, especially in late gestation, through more open discussion and better management of risk factors.
