title: [Antenatal fetal heart rate with special reference to maternal posture].
abstract: Between the 20th and 40th week of pregnancy in 40 normal single-fetus pregnancies, examinations were carried out at regular intervals to determine prospectively the influence of gestation age and maternal posture on fetal heart rate patterns. It could be demonstrated that both fetal maturation as pregnancy progresses and differing maternal postures lead to significant changes in the fetal parameters. Failure to take these influences into consideration can lead to a false assessment of the condition of the fetus.
