Abstract

Background: Mother's fetal movement counting is a tool allows the mother to be confident of fetal wellbeing. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fetal movement counting on maternal and fetal outcomes among high-risk pregnant women. Methods: A total sample of 100 risky pregnant women were assigned randomly to the study group (i.e., pregnant women who received instruction related to the daily fetal movement count), and the control group who received the routine hospital's antenatal follow up. Data was gathered utilizing; 1) a structured interview questionnaire, 2) follow up assessment schedule and 3) Daily fetal movement counting chart. Findings: There were statistically significant differences between both group's related to recurrent consultation and seeking medical advice (withχ2 = 5.19, and P≤0.02), while number of hospital admission for observing fetal movement was (χ2 =4.32, and P≤0.04). Conclusion: Antenatal standard information for fetal movements count may help in increasing mother's awareness for early reporting.
