Abstract
Summary: Patient, observer and instrumental methods for recording fetal movements are described. Significant correlations between both patient and observer, and patient and instrumental fetal movement counts, were found. Significant diurnal, daily and weekly variation in fetal movement counts occurred which need to be considered in the interpretation of the frequency of fetal movements as an indication of fetal welfare.
