Summary

Need statement \- a new way to distinguish between a healthy small fetus and a small fetus suffering from deprivation of nutrition and oxygen to prevent unnecessary induction of preterm birth and improve neonatal outcome. Aim - to characterize fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) based on fetal ECG in the normal fetus and in the fetus suffering from growth retardation to evaluate its value and applicability as a supplementary tool in fetal surveillance. Aim of current study \- To evaluate the feasibility of NI-FECG from gestational week 20 and onwards and investigate if important factors as length and heart rate pattern affects repeatability of time domain and spectral analyses in fetuses.
