Clinical Trial Summary

Several studies analysed the association of fetal movement counting with perinatal mortality and fetal outcomes. However, no one examined the relationship of the maternal perception of fetal movement with the fetal wellbeing quantifies through computerised cardiotocography. Our study evaluates the correlation between the maternal perception of fetal movement and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters.

Primary	To estimate the correlation between the maternal perception of fetal movement and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters.		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
