Reduced fetal movement (RFM) is commonly defined as any reduction in maternal perception of fetal activity. Perceived fetal activity may be movement of limbs, trunk or head movement, but excludes fetal hiccoughs (as this is involuntary movement). The perception of fetal movement by an expectant mother is the first, and ongoing, non-sonographic indicator of fetal viability. The “normal” pattern of fetal movements varies from pregnancy to pregnancy, and often does not become established until 28 weeks’ gestation. Many babies have particularly active periods of the day, usually corresponding to periods of maternal rest and inactivity (which may in itself reflect increased maternal awareness of fetal movement). A variable percentage of sonographically observed fetal movements are perceived by prospective mothers (commonly 30–40%, although some studies report rates as high as 80%).

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that can cause fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. One way that pregnant women can reduce the risk of pregnancy complications is by monitoring the fetus's movement. The mother must know about monitoring fetal movements by analyzing fetal movements. The mother can detect the health of the fetus from an early stage. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge about monitoring fetal movement in pregnant women with preeclampsia. This quantitative research uses a simple descriptive design. The study's location is in the inpatient room of Teratai 1 and the Arifin Ahmad Hospital's obstetrics department, Riau Province. The population is 85 people. The selected sample amounted to 46 people with accidental techniques. The data was collected using a questionnaire and then analyzed univariately. The study found that 80.4% of pregnant women lacked knowledge about monitoring fetal movements. Pregnant with preeclampsia need to pay more attention to their fetal movements by seeking more information from health services and other sources, such as social media. Lack of monitoring of fetal movements and maternal knowledge about it causes fetal and maternal mortality rates to be challenging to reduce. Therefore, health workers must be more active in educating about pregnant women's health problems with preeclampsia to achieve the SDGs target in reducing infant and maternal mortality.

Background Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble-fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) are biomarkers of placental function used to aid the diagnosis and prediction of pregnancy complications. This work verified the analytical performance of both biomarkers and provides preliminary diagnostic accuracy data to identify adverse pregnancy outcome in women with reduced fetal movement. Methods Verification of sFlt-1 and PlGF assays included a comparative accuracy assessment of 24 serum samples analysed at six different sites and laboratory-specific precision estimates. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was assessed in serum samples obtained prospectively from 295 women with reduced fetal movement ≥36 weeks’ gestation; diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using 2 × 2 tables and area under the receiver operator characteristic (AUROC) curve. Results Regression analysis showed that performance between sites was good with Passing-Bablok slopes ranging from 0.96 to 1.05 (sFlt-1) and 0.93 to 1.08 (PlGF). All sites had a mean bias <15%, although there was poorer agreement at the lowest PlGF concentrations. All within- and between-batch coefficients of variation were <10%. In 289 women with an appropriately grown fetus, an sFlt-1/PlGF ratio ≥38 had a sensitivity of 0.20 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07, 0.41), specificity of 0.88 (95% CI 0.83, 0.92) and AUROC curve of 0.58 (95% CI 0.47, 0.68) to identify adverse pregnancy outcome. Conclusions Analytical performance of the sFlt-1 and PlGF assays was comparable across different sites. The sensitivity of sFlt-1/PlGF to identify adverse pregnancy outcome in women with reduced fetal movement was considered acceptable, in the absence of other tests, to progress to a pilot randomized controlled trial.
