Several types of research examined the relationship of Braxton-Hicks contractions and uterine flow. Nevertheless, no one considered the relationship of the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions with the fetal wellbeing quantifies through computerised cardiotocography. Our study wants to estimate the correlation between the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions and antepartum computerised cardiotocography parameters.
