Yaffe, H., Beyth, Y., Laufer, N. and Sadovsky, E. (Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hadassah‐University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel). Fetal heart rate and fetal movements . Int J Gynaecol Obstet 14 : 525–528, 1976. Fetal Heart Rate (F.H.R.) in association with fetal movement was evaluated in 141 normal and pathological pregnancies. In the normal cases only 31 % showed an acceleration of F.H.R. in association with fetal movement. The majority of the normal cases, 62%, did not demonstrate changes in F.H.R. in association with fetal movement. In the pathological pregnancies there were no characteristic changes in F.H.R. associated with fetal movement. It appears that F.H.R. acceleration associated with fetal movement cannot be used as an index for fetal well being.
