Abstract
Summary The incidence of stillbirth among 6597 pregnant women who were all given fetal movement charts to use in the third trimester did not differ from that among 13705 pregnant women of whom only a very few selected high-risk mothers used fetal movement charts. These results, in contrast with previous studies, demonstrate that maternal monitoring of fetal movement does not reduce the risk of intra-uterine death.Keywords
