To estimate the correlation between the maternal perception of Braxton-Hicks contractions (BHC) and foetal wellbeing throughout antepartum computerised cardiotocography (cCTG) parameters, we performed a prospective observational study between April 2019 and March 2020. Non-labouring women with a term pregnancy were recruited. We collected data regarding maternal perception of BHC in the last two weeks before delivery. For each patient, an external computerised cardiotocography (cCTG) was registered. Women were subdivided in accordance with perception or non-perception of BHC. Fifty women were recruited. Women who felt BHC showed higher foetal heart rate (135 bpm vs 128 bpm,
