Abstract:
Fetal movement is one of the markers of fetal wellbeing. Decreased fetal movement(DFM)in the third trimester indicates an increased possibility of intrauterine asphyxia/ anoxia. There is a lack of reported data for the correlation of DFM and incidence of neonatal hypoxic - ischemic brain damage(HIBD). DFM is a multi - factorial clinical phenomenon which may be caused by various issues of pregnant women,fetus,and cord. Incidence of negative neonatal outcomes greatly increased in the condition of DFM. Obstetricians and neonatologists should keep close monito-ring to pregnant women with DFM in the third trimester and their newborn infants. Appropriate medical intervention is highly recommended in order to minimize the occurrence of HIBD.
