Fetal movements (FM) in utero are an expression of fetal well-being, and the importance of assessing these movements has been shown in cases of chronic fetal distress. The diurnal variations were studied in 2 groups of high-risk pregnant women who assessed FM by subjective perception. The patients in the first group assessed FM before and after meals. The majority (86%) reported no significant difference in fetal activity before and after meals; the remaining 14% noted a constant decrease after meals. Of the second group, which assessed FM 3 times daily 82% discerned no significant differences and 18% showed significant diurnal variations. It is concluded that assessment of FM is not necessarily dependent on a strict timetable.
子宫内的胎动是胎儿健康的一种表现，并且在慢性胎儿窘迫病例中已显示出评估这些胎动的重要性。对两组通过主观感知评估胎动的高危孕妇进行了昼夜变化研究。第一组患者在饭前和饭后评估胎动。大多数（86%）报告说饭前和饭后胎儿活动没有显著差异；其余14%注意到饭后胎动持续减少。第二组每天评估3次胎动，其中82%未发现显著差异，18%显示出显著的昼夜变化。得出的结论是，胎动评估不一定依赖于严格的时间表。
