If you're pregnant, stop scrolling.
Most people don't find out about these until it's too late. Thank you to Jamie Logan from โ€˜Bump and Mindโ€™ reminding us of the these 5 daily habits could protect your baby and every pregnant woman needs to know them. ๐Ÿ‘‡

โœ”๏ธ Get to know your baby's normal, every baby is unique
โœ”๏ธ Trust your instincts, you know your baby better than anyone
โœ”๏ธ Monitor your baby's movements, their strength, pattern and frequency every single day
โœ”๏ธ From 28 weeks, sleep on your side, either side is fine, just not your back
โœ”๏ธ Noticed any changes? Call your care provider straight away, do not wait

These five things take minutes. They could save your baby's life.
6 babies are stillborn in Australia every single day. Many of these losses are preventable with the right awareness and action. Still Aware exists to change that.

๐Ÿ’ก Use your 40 weeks wisely. Ask questions about everything. If you don't get the answers you need, find someone who will give them to you. Focus on what you can control, because so much of this is within your power. ๐Ÿ’›

Save this post. Share it with every pregnant woman you know. You never know whose life it could change. ๐Ÿ’›

A healthy pregnancy. No warning signs. No reason to fear the worst.
And yet, Nikita came home without her baby girl. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Ella was born at 35 weeks due to fetomaternal haemorrhage, a rare but devastating condition where a baby's blood silently passes into the mother's circulation.
There is no handbook for this kind of grief.
There are no words that make it easier.

But there is this, her name, said out loud.

**Ella.** Forever loved. Never forgotten. ๐Ÿ’™

We share her story not just to grieve, but to drive the research, awareness and change that means fewer families face what Nikita faced.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Say Ella's name in the comments. She deserves to be remembered.
๐Ÿ’™ Share this post โ€” awareness is everything.

A finding that challenges what we thought we knew about blood pressure in pregnancy. ๐Ÿ’™

Research has shown that women with borderline low blood pressure were at a higher risk of stillbirth, compared to women with really high blood pressure, who were actually at a decreased risk because of closer monitoring.

High blood pressure is a well-known, actively monitored risk factor. Women are typically delivered when blood pressure becomes too high and too out of control. Because of that level of clinical attention, it was not identified as a risk factor in this study.

Borderline low blood pressure, however, tells a different story. Professor Jane Warland explains hereโ€ฆ.

Sarah almost didn't go to that appointment. ๐Ÿ’™
Everything about her pregnancy was normal. Routine. No red flags.
But something felt off, and she listened.
That decision saved Liam's life.

At 33 weeks, undetected pre-eclampsia was silently stealing his chance at life. Four hours after walking into that midwife appointment, Liam was born, breathing, fighting, here.

You are never wasting anyone's time.
You are your baby's first line of defence. ๐Ÿ’ช

Trusting your maternal instincts can make a real difference during pregnancy.

You know your baby better than anyone else. If something feels different, unusual, or simply not right, it is important to contact your doctor or midwife immediately. Seeking advice early is always the right thing to do.

Through Still Awareโ€™s Mandarin Safe Pregnancy Resources, we are helping to break down language barriers so more families can access important information about safer pregnancy and feel confident advocating for themselves and their baby.

These resources have been developed with healthcare professionals, cultural advisors, and community consultation to ensure the information is clear, culturally respectful, and easy to understand.

Resources are available in Mandarin. For more information, visit our website.
