IMPACTS OF BRAXTON-HICKS CONTRACTIONS ON COMPUTERISED CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY PARAMETERS: A POTENTIAL LINK.

Several types of research examined the relationship of Braxton-Hicks contractions and uterine flow. Nevertheless, no one considered the relationship of the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions with the fetal wellbeing quantifies through computerised cardiotocography. Our study wants to estimate the correlation between the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters.

Inclusion criteria

  • Nonlaboring women with a term uncomplicated singleton pregnancy

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

antepartum computerised cardiotocography analysis

Diagnostic Test

A common obstetric methodical to evaluate the fetal well-being is the antepartum fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring through cardiotocography (CTG)

Primary outcomes

  1. the comparison of the antepartum computerised cardiotocography between the patients with Braxton-Hicks contractions and the patients without uterine activity

    Time frame: pre-intervention

    External cCTG was completed at least 20 minutes (maximum 60 minutes), two transducers were placed on the maternal abdomen: one over the fetal heart level and the other one at the uterine fundus. For each cCTG, the following data were evaluated: Basal FHR
