OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, using four-dimensional (4D) sonography, the frequency of fetal movements during the late first trimester of normal singleton pregnancies. METHODS: Singleton pregnancies were studied-using transvaginal 4D sonography-for 10 minutes at 10-11 and 12-13 weeks of gestation. The frequencies of 5 fetal movements (isolated arm, isolated leg, short trunk, long trunk, and jumping movements) were evaluated. RESULTS: In the 17 pregnancies studied, the most frequent fetal movements were isolated arm movement at 10-11 weeks and jumping movement at 12-13 weeks. There was a significant difference in the frequency of jumping movement between 10-11 and 12-13 weeks (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The difference in frequency of 5 fetal movements at 10-11 and 12-13 weeks of gestation may be caused by early neuromuscular development and differentiation of the neuromuscular system. |
