Abstract

In the current case of fetomaternal hemorrhage with reduced fetal movements, the findings of cardiotocography (CTG) seemed to be indicating reassuring fetal status; however, a late deceleration and sinusoidal heart rate (SHR)-like findings were observed following a weak uterine contraction. Altogether, this case indicates that the presence of reduced fetal movements may precede the appearance of SHR patterns on CTG in cases of chronic fetomaternal hemorrhage.
