Heazell1 AEP, et al. - Using an interviewer-administered questionnaire, a case-control study was conducted to report maternally perceived fetal movements in women who experienced a recent stillbirth compared with a control group of women at similar gestation who had a live baby. Researchers reported that increased strength of fetal movements and fetal hiccups was correlated with reduced risk of stillbirth. They discovered that alterations in the frequency of fetal movements were important in identifying pregnancies at increased risk of stillbirth, with the greatest risk in women noting a reduction in fetal activity. They suggested that clinical guidance should be updated to reflect that increase in strength and frequency of fetal movements were correlated with the lowest risk of stillbirth, and that reduced fetal movements were linked to stillbirth.
