The majority of women who experienced stillbirth felt a decrease in fetal movement before diagnosis. The most frequently reported change was a decrease in perceived fetal movement. Indeed, reduced fetal movement has long been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as impaired fetal growth and stillbirth. The role of the mother is very important in assessing the movement of the fetus. Factors that influence the mother in calculating her fetal movement are the mother's perception, mother's knowledge and the forgetting factor.
