Patterns of gross fetal body movements over 24-hour observation intervals during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy
TLDR
Maternal meals and glucose concentrations did not influence gross fetal body movements and fetuses demonstrated a peak in activity between 2100 and 0100 hours at 38 to 39 weeks' gestational age.About:

Explaining Facial Imitation: A Theoretical Model.
TL;DR: It is argued that important aspects of later social cognition are rooted in the initial cross-modal equivalence between self and other found in newborns.

Human foetuses learn odours from their pregnant mother's diet
TL;DR: This study provides the first clear evidence that through their diet human mothers influence the hedonic polarity of their neonates' initial olfactory responses and has potential implications for the early mother-to-infant transmission of chemosensory information relative to food and addictive products.

Temporal sequence of abnormal Doppler changes in the peripheral and central circulatory systems of the severely growth-restricted fetus

TL;DR: To identify the temporal sequence of abnormal Doppler changes in the fetal circulation in a subset of early and severely growth‐restricted fetuses, a large number of patients with high‐risk pregnancies are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body and breathing movements in near-term fetuses and newborn infants of type-1 diabetic women.
TL;DR: Behavioural state organization was poor in the diabetic group, both before and after birth and resembled that of more immature fetuses and infants, indicating altered regulation of breathing movements in diabetic pregnancy.

Fetal activity and fetal wellbeing: an evaluation.
J F Pearson,J B Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: The clinical value of the 12-hour daily fetal movement count as a test of antepartum fetal wellbeing was assessed and the lowest 2-5% of 1654 DFMCs recorded by 61 women who subsequently delivered healthy infants fell below 10 movements per 12 hours.
Journal Article
Patterns of human fetal breathing during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy.
TL;DR: The data show that much more information must be obtained on factors that normally influence fetal breathing activity before research strategies be suggested for clinical evaluation of the usefulness of fetal breathing movements in the assessment of fetal health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of human fetal breathing activity at 34 to 35 weeks' gestational age.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the percentage of time spent breathing by normal fetuses was related to time of day and maternal meals and the alternating changes of fetal activity and inactivity observed may represent biologic changes of sleep state in the human fetus in utero at 34 to 35 weeks' gestational age.

Measurement of fetal forelimb movements in the lamb in utero
R. Natale,F. Clewlow,G. S. Dawes +2 more
TL;DR: In active labor near term, the fetal electrocorticogram continued to cycle between high- and low-voltage activity, and the number of movements was reduced; movements were present only during uterine contractions, provided that the fetus was not in low- electromyographic activity with rapid eye movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human fetal breathing movements and gross fetal body movements at weeks 34 to 35 of gestation
TL;DR: It was concluded that real-time ultrasonic scanning permits identification of fetal breathing movements and that between 09:00 and 17:00 hours the character of these movements is related to the time of the day and to the ingestion of food by the mother.
