    Maternal recordings show fetal activity is higher in multiple pregnancies compared to singletons. Fetal movements increase with the number of fetuses, with triplets and higher-order multiples exhibiting the most activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Physiology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Fetal movement is a key indicator of fetal well-being.
    • Understanding fetal activity patterns in multiple gestations is crucial for monitoring.
    • Previous research has not extensively quantified fetal activity across various multiple pregnancy types.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare maternal-recorded fetal activity levels in multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets) with those in singleton pregnancies.
    • To investigate if fetal activity correlates with the number of fetuses in utero.

    Main Methods:

    • Maternal daily fetal movement recordings were utilized.
    • Data from singleton pregnancies served as a baseline for comparison.

  • Fetal activity was analyzed across different multiple pregnancy orders.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean fetal activity was generally higher in multiple pregnancies than in singleton pregnancies.
    • Fetal movement levels increased with higher-order multiples (triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets) compared to twins.
    • The study included 33 twin, 6 triplet, 1 quadruplet, and 1 quintuplet cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Fetal activity, as measured by maternal recordings, is elevated in multiple gestations.
    • Increased fetal movement is associated with a higher number of fetuses.
    • These findings highlight potential differences in fetal well-being indicators across pregnancy types.
