The authors studied 50 at-risk pregnancies to decide how useful fetal movements were prognostically. They compared this method with electronic measurements of fetal cardiac rhythm. The results show that it is both sensitive and specific. The levels of total oestriols and of plasma placental lactogen hormone when compared with the fetal heart rhythm are just as specific and sensitive.
