Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate average gestational week in which mothers feel the babies'movements for the first time and maternal-fetal factors affecting this time.

Conditions

Early Pregnancy

Keywords

fetal movement; placenta site; body mass index; maternal education

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• placental settlement via ultrasound

  Relationship between placental location obtained via sonography and fetal movement perception

  5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• maternal body mass index measurement

  3 minutes

• maternal age

  1 minute

• parity

  1 minute

• educational status

  1 minute

• smoking

  1 minute

Study Arms (3)

Early perception group

The group with early perception of fetal movement (\<25th percentile)

Average perception group

The group with average perception of fetal movement (\>25th and \<75th percentile)

Late perception group

The group which late perception of fetal movement (\>75 percentile)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Three groups were formed according to the gestational week in which fetal movements felt by mother for the first time. 25th percentile, 50thand 75th percentile values were determined .Participants who felt the babies' movements at or before 25th percentile value constituted Group1 or early perception group, participants who felt the babies' movements between 25th and 75th percentile value constituted Group 2 or average perception group and the participants who felt the babies'movements at or beyond 75th value constituted Group 3 or late perception group. Subsequently, these three groups were compared regarding maternal age, gestational week of inclusion in the study, obstetric features, maternal body mass index values, caffeine consumption, smoking status, maternal education status, placental localization and fetal gender.

You may qualify if:

• The study population included spontaneous, singleton pregnancies at first and second-trimester of their pregnancy
