The Effect of Two Different Self-Assessment Methods for Fetal Movement Monitoring on Maternal Psychosocial Status

"They will be instructed to lie on their left side and focus on the fetal movements for 15 minutes every day while the foetus is awake. They will also be instructed to monitor the character, strength and frequency of fetal movements (not to count them) and to seek medical advice if they feel any change in this pattern.~After two weeks, the pregnant women will be invited back to the organisation for a follow-up interview to check whether they have performed the practice and recorded correctly. An interview will be conducted again after four weeks."

"They will be asked to continue this procedure every morning, noon or evening for one month (depending on the movements of the pregnant woman and her baby, the time will be left to the pregnant woman, but it should be at the same time every day). Since the aim of the study is to increase maternal awareness rather than to determine fetal well-being, mothers will be asked to count at least 10 movements based on the count to ten and Sadovsky method, and will be asked to record the start and completion time of the movements each time. A follow-up will be made after two weeks and a final follow-up will be made after one month"
