PY - 2013 DA - 2013/02/05 TI - A cross-sectional study of maternal perception of fetal movements and antenatal advice in a general pregnant population, using a qualitative framework JO - BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth SP - 32 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Maternal perception of fetal movements has been used as a measure of fetal well-being. Yet a Cochrane review does not recommend formal fetal movement counting compared to discretional fetal movement counting. There is some evidence that suggests that the quality of fetal movements can precede quantitative changes however there has been almost no assessment of how women describe movements and whether these descriptions may be useful in a clinical setting. Therefore we aimed to examine maternal perception of fetal movements using a qualitative framework.
