Clinical Trial Summary

Several types of research examined the relationship of Braxton-Hicks contractions and uterine flow. Nevertheless, no one considered the relationship of the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions with the fetal wellbeing quantifies through computerised cardiotocography. Our study wants to estimate the correlation between the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters.

Primary	the comparison of the antepartum computerised cardiotocography between the patients with Braxton-Hicks contractions and the patients without uterine activity	External cCTG was completed at least 20 minutes (maximum 60 minutes), two transducers were placed on the maternal abdomen: one over the fetal heart level and the other one at the uterine fundus. For each cCTG, the following data were evaluated: Basal FHR	pre-intervention
