The outcomes of pregnancies with reduced fetal movements: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to examine the outcomes and interventions in pregnant women presenting with a perception of reduced fetal movements (RFM), and to determine if repeated episodes of RFM increase the risk of adverse outcomes.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in six NHS hospitals within the Thames Valley network region, UK and one neighboring hospital, an area with approximately 31 000 births annually. All women with a primary presentation of perceived RFM after 24 completed weeks of gestation during the month of October 2016 were included in the study.
