Hi all,

and a huge Blush that it has taken us sooooo long to post.

We are looking at all of our section headers and some will be updated over the coming months to include further info, links, advice etc. We have noted this thread and will have a look at all of the links and information posted when we update the pregnancy section header.

Thank you for a fantastic idea and for your patience, we will get back to you in September when the children go back to school everyone is back in the office.

Hello there,

Thanks for drawing this one to our attention, and so sorry that we dropped the ball. We will talk to the relevant people at MNHQ to see what we can do, and come back to let you know ASAP.

Thanks

Hello. Just posting here to let you know we're not ignoring you! We're actually doing quite a lot of work behind the scenes on this, and we're in touch with Count The Kicks about the best course of action.

We fully support the work of Count The Kicks; the question is really how best we can alert pregnant Mumsnetters towards the need to monitor their baby's kicks in mid to late pregnancy.

We have a bit of a problem with putting that info in a "note" at the top of Pregnancy threads because that is a space really reserved for MN tidy-office kind of stuff (eg "please don't post your survey here; this topic is for Mumsnet surveys only" or "please remember that Mumsnet hasn't checked the legal qualifications of people posting in this topic"). And putting links to other organisations in the "note" would set a bit of a precedent for us.

Also, as Pregnancy is a topic for people in any stage of pregnancy, we don't want to run the risk of unnecessarily worrying those in the early stages of pregnancy that they should checking for movements all the time.

So it all needs a bit of thinking through - which is why we're probably looking a bit slow.

Whatever happens, we will sort something out - and we'll definitely make sure our Pregnancy content include some Count the Kicks info, that we can link to in our 'Pregnancy: useful Mumsnet stuff' column that runs down the right-hand side of all Pregnancy Talk pages.

Thanks for bearing with us on this.

Hello all. We've now put up a content page in our Pregnancy section all about monitoring your baby's movements

And we've linked to it in our list of "Pregnancy: useful stuff" down the side of all Pregnancy Talk pages.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestion (and for your almost-superhuman patience). Smile
