AIBU to think MN shouldn't be advertising such dangerous shite?

home dopplers are bad enough - they can provide false reassurance to women who aren't trained to identify an accurate FHR, never mind the panic they can cause when a HR can't be found.

but FHR APPS ?! I'm fucking horrified that mn would allow a FHR app to be advertised on their pages. I've literally managed to get a healthy FHR reading from my FOOT.

They are SO dangerous. I'm sure I'll get replies saying 'oh it's just a bit of fun, no one would think its medically accurate'. Some women WILL think it's accurate, and not seek further reassurance from their midwife or hospital triage number.

Hi OP, thanks for alerting us. We will take a closer look at this issue and update soon but in the mean time, will move the thread over to site stuff as it's easier for us to keep track of site issues there.

Hi folks
We are blocking this ad, which was automatically generated by Google. We block a lot of advertising content on the site but things do sometimes slip through, so please continue to report if you see an ad you think needs checking out. As discussed up thread, just using at-home foetal monitors goes against NHS advice, and anyone concerned about their baby's health should seek medical attention.

Hi

We had this blocked and the only thing I can think of is that they are buying under a different advertiser name now.
I am trying to look for it too but if someone sees it again can they click on it and grab the link in the address bar for me please, I can then block this that way.

Thanks

Thanks so much, looking into this now but I think Google have this ad mislabelled as something else so escalating to them right now.
