Does promoting increased awareness of decreased foetal movements reduce stillbirth, a stepped wedge cluster randomised trial. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that a package of interventions consisting of strategies for increasing pregnant women’s awareness of the need to report early when they perceive a reduction in fetal movements, followed with a management plan for identification and delivery of the “at risk” fetus in such women, will reduce rates of stillbirth.
