Aim: Decrease in baby movements during pregnancy is a common reason for admission to hospital. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the perinatal and obstetric outcomes of pregnant women hospitalized in the delivery unit with the diagnosis of reduced fetal movements. Materials and methods: Between January 2020 and January 2021, 417 pregnant women who were hospitalized in the delivery unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of reduced fetal movements at 37 weeks and above were retrospectively analyzed. High-risk pregnant women were excluded from the study. The patients' age, gravida, parity, body mass index, mode of delivery and neonatal intensive care need results were recorded. The mode of delivery and the need for neonatal intensive care in pregnant women hospitalized in the delivery unit with the diagnosis of reduced fetal movements were compared with the results of 13059 patients hospitalized in the delivery unit during this year. Results: It was determined that 417 (3.19%) of 13059 patients admitted to the delivery unit were hospitalized with the diagnosis of reduced fetal movements. While the rate of primary cesarean section was 16.54% among all patients, the rate of primary cesarean section was found to be 36.73% in 245 pregnant women who were diagnosed with reduced fetal movements and delivered. It was found to be significantly higher in the study group than in the whole patient group (p=0.023). No statistically significant difference was observed in the comparison of babies born in both groups in terms of need for neonatal intensive care (p=0.744). Conclusion: Primary cesarean section rates increase in patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of reduced fetal movements.
