Heart rate variability parameters and fetal movement complement fetal behavioral states detection via magnetography to monitor vegetative development

Fetal behavioral states are defined by fetal movement and heart rate variability (HRV). At 32 weeks of gestational age (GA) the distinction of four fetal behavioral states represented by combinations of quiet or active sleep or awakeness is possible. Prior to 32 weeks, only periods of fetal activity...
