Excessively delayed maternal reaction after their perception of decreased fetal movements in stillbirths: Population-based study in Japan.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that delayed maternal visit after perceiving decreased fetal movements is frequently observed in stillbirths. Promoting more thorough maternal education on fetal movements, including emphasizing earlier visitation after perceiving decreased fetal movements, may prevent stillbirths.
