A prospective study was performed on 63 women at risk for preterm delivery who recorded maternally perceived contractions for 1 hour before and after placement of an external tocodynamometer. Fifteen women had an increase, 11 had a decrease, and 37 had no change (P not significant) in the number of perceived contractions after placement of the tocodynamometer.
