Background: A reduced fetal movement is a common indication for assessment of fetal well being. A reduced fetal movement is considered as high risk pregnancy because the fetus is at high risk of hypoxia and sudden demise.
Methods: Hospital based prospective study conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, RVRS Medical College, Bhilwara. Total 130 pregnant women were included in this study.
Results: 10.77% patients didn’t perceive fetal movements after admission. Out of 14 patients with absent DFMC, 6 babies (42.86%) died and 8 babies (57.14%) survived. The association betweenNon Stress Test and mode of delivery was found statistically significant. 83.33%) were admitted in NICU. Out of 24 patients presenting with non reactive NST, 20.83% (5) babies born with APGAR score more than 7 and 79.17% (19) babies had APGAR score 4-7.
Conclusion: The association between NST & DFMC and fetal outcome was found statistically significant.
Keywords: DFMC, NST, Fetal outcome, survived.
