Maternal perception of reduced fetal movements is associated with poor perinatal outcomes, including fetal death.
Daily fetal movement counting, such as the Cardiff “count-to-ten”
method using kick charts, is a way of screening for fetal well-being, by
which a woman counts daily fetal movements to assess the condition of
her baby. The aim of this is to try to reduce perinatal mortality by
alerting health workers when the baby might be compromised.
Daily fetal movement counting may be used routinely in all pregnant
women or only in women who are considered to be at increased risk of
adverse perinatal outcomes. Early detection of fetal compromise could
lead to timely clinical interventions to reduce poor perinatal outcomes
but might lead to maternal anxiety or unnecessary clinical
interventions. It is also possible that the period between decreased
fetal movements and fetal death might be too short to allow effective
action to be taken.
