| Research Abstract |
Fetal movement which is a biological indicator of fetal well-being is thought to become an index of neurological development. In the present study, we examined to demonstrate a process of fetal neurological development using an original system for recording and analyzing fetal movement during long term.
Eleven pregnant women under daily life conditions participated in the study. At the results, number of fetal movement from gestational 24 to 32 weeks increased with individual differences on development, and decreased at gestational 36 weeks. Ultradian rest-activity rhythm of fetal movement started in gestational 28 weeks. This study continues for a pregnant woman under stressful conditions.
