Part of the Scottish Government’s action on preventing stillbirths is to promote awareness of fetal movements amongst pregnant women. A new intervention called AFFIRM is combining new clinical guidelines with awareness raising, as a way of identifying women and fetuses who might be at risk of stillbirth. The AFFIRM intervention is being tested in a random controlled trial, and our part of the project will investigate the experiences of medical staff and pregnant women of the AFFIRM intervention.
