ANALYZING COURSE OF PREGNANCY AND LABOR OUTCOMES IN FETAL MOVEMENTS COUNTING
https://doi.org/10.34822/2304-9448-2022-4-8-12
Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of fetal movements counting for labor outcomes based on the literature review. Materials and methods. The scientific literature was searched in the Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, and RSCI databases. Results. Despite being an indirect diagnostic method, fetal movement counting improves pregnancy outcomes and lowers the stillbirth rate.
