Fetal Movements: Ask, Listen, Inform. Instead of yes/no questions (e.g. ‘do you feel baby movements’), maternity carers could 1) ASK about frequency, strength, & pattern, 2) LISTEN to woman , & 3) INFORM her about what to expect.

Read our piece with @DrsforChoice_uk for @RcobsGyn on the importance of abortion education: https://t.co/ErhwCaC4CF
