The population of this study was the third trimester of pregnant women, namely 80 people. The sample of this study was 34 people. Test statistics using the Mann Whitney test and Fisher's Exact Test with confidence levels specified α = 0.05 and 95% confidence intervals. The results of the study with the Mann Whitney test P = 0,000 means that there is a significant difference between knowledge about calculating fetal motion in the case group compared to the control group and the Fisher's Exact Test P = 0,000 shows there is an influence of experimental counseling on the activity of calculating fetal movement. The recommendations of this study are to examine the effectiveness of calculating fetal motion for fetal distress.
