Summary

Prospective mono-centric randomized open-label study (randomization 1: 1, 2 groups) comparing a group of patients who received conventional information to a group of patients who had been sensitized to a fetal active movement count technique.

The study will take place at the University Hospital Center of Saint-Etienne in the gynecology-obstetrics department.

An information brochure on the study will be handed over at the end of the term consultation to 41+0 weeks of gestation. After collecting the consent of the patient, the distribution between the two groups will be done by randomization. Thus, for the fetal active movement count group, fetal active movement count education will be proposed during the term consultation with the submission of an information brochure. The "control" group will also receive a simple information pamphlet with, in writing, what patients currently receive orally: definition of active fetal movements, and the need to consult if the patient perceives less movements of her fetus .The principal objective is to compare perinatal morbidity in relation with the sensation of decrease active fetal movements in case of late pregnancy, according to the fact if the patients use or not the AFM's count.

Conditions

  • Prolonged Pregnancy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Classic information

The team delivers to each patient a unique and standardized information brochure including a definition of fetal active movements, and the need to consult if the patient perceives less the movements of her fetus.

PROCEDURE

Information by detailed brochure on the fetal active movements account

Delayed single and standardized explanatory card on fetal movements (definition, interests of their follow-up, technique of movements on fetuses, table to fill during the follow-up noting the number of active movements physical feelings at 3 times of the day, managing the decrease in the number of active fetal movements).
