Reduced fetal movements at term in singleton low risk pregnancies ‐ is there an association with placental histopathological findings?

ConclusionsAfter excluding important placental ‐related morbidities, RFM was associated with a higher rate of placental weight<10th percentile and placental maternal vascular malperfusion lesions vs. controls. This study suggests a placental involvement in the association between RFM at term and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
