How to count fetal movements

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Counting Method: Count for 1 hour at fixed times in the morning, noon, and evening each day. If more than 3 movements are observed per hour, it indicates a good fetal condition. Alternatively, sum the number of movements in the morning, noon, and evening, then multiply by 4 to obtain the total number of movements in 12 hours. If the total number of movements in 12 hours is 30 or more, it reflects a good fetal condition. If it is less than 20, it suggests fetal abnormalities. If fetal movements are fewer than 10, it indicates fetal hypoxia in the uterus.
