think they know it and, you know, they think, oh, I don't have to go over that again.

But there's still lots of information in the bundle and lots of steps that I think people are not doing.

So it's based on the Ask, Advise, Help framework and, of course, referring women to Quitline.

And we know that women who are referred to Quitline have a much higher rate of actually smoking cessation.

And there are some new areas coming out like Isis to Quit, which was a research tool, but I think is being rolled out nationally for First Nations women.

So there is more to know about in this area.

And I really encourage people to not just gloss over the smoking cessation component.

It is a critical part.

Early detection of fetal growth restriction and standardising an appropriate action when fetal growth restriction is detected.

So this includes a risk assessment for fetal growth restriction at the start of the pregnancy and then standardisation of

the technique of symphysial fundal height, plotting it on growth charts and the visual aid of the growth charts can be very helpful.

The whole point about the symphysial fundal height is that it's about looking at the trajectory.

The key people who should be identified are those where your first measurement is under the tenth centile and the rest of it is about slowing growth and static growth.

It's not about a single measurement.

Decreased fetal movements.

So this has been, I've heard, I've had lots of variable feedback from clinicians about the importance of decreased fetal movements and whether we are just causing anxiety and causing more women to present.

Determining decreased fetal movements, educating women about the importance of awareness of baby's movements and giving women permission to present when they have concerns about fetal movements is a key part of the Safer Baby Bundle.

Side sleeping.

So again, educating women not to fall asleep on their back and to aim to sleep on their side as much as they can.

Reassurance in this one is important.
