Sharing for our colleague Mo -

I’d really appreciate it if you could pass on the research flyer below to any pregnant women (in Aberdeenshire) you know who might be interested.

As the flyer is shared as an image, the links on it aren’t clickable, so I’ve included the full links in the post/comments below as well.

Thank you so much for your support—it really is appreciated 🌱

Here’s what to expect with your baby movements 🤰🏼

One of the most reassuring parts of pregnancy is feeling your baby move 🤍 it’s amazing to feel - and sometimes kind of strange 😂 - but no matter how you feel about it, it’s very important to be aware of them

✨ Most women start to feel movements between 16–24 weeks

✨ Movements should gradually become more regular and stronger

✨ By 32 weeks your baby will be in a pattern of daily movements and this should continue up until your baby is born

✨ Every baby has their own pattern — get to know yours and don’t compare to others

🚨 Trust your instincts

If your baby’s movements feel reduced, different, or you’re worried at all — don’t wait.

Contact your the maternity hospital straight away (not your own Midwife who may not be working) 📞

You are never wasting anyone’s time.

If it is between 8am and 6:30pm we will likely check you over in Peterhead, if it is outwith those times or there are other risk factors in your pregnancy then we may direct you to Aberdeen Maternity Hospital 🏥

Lots of good information being shared on The Lullaby Trust page during Safe Sleep Week 👶🏼 💤

Lots of good information being shared on The Lullaby Trust page during Safe Sleep Week 👶🏼 💤

Just because it’s on the shelf doesn’t mean it’s suitable for sleep. 🤔

Baby sleep products aren’t always designed with safer sleep in mind, even if they’re marketed that way.

When it comes to your baby’s sleep space, keep it simple to keep it safe. You don’t need to buy lots of products or spend money on expensive items.

The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back in their own clear, flat, firm sleep space.

There are just a few items that we recommend – the baby necessities:

- Cot or Moses basket
- Portable sleep space such as a travel cot, carry cot or Moses basket
- Firm, flat, waterproof mattress
- Sleeping bag or sheets and a lightweight blanket
- Room thermometer
- Car seat – this is not intended for sleeping when not travelling, but is essential for safer travel.
