Normal fetal movement activity during pregnancy
> The number of spontaneous movements tends to increase until the 32nd week of pregnancy, then plateaus until onset of labour
> By term, the average number of movements per hour is 31 (range 16-45), with the longest period between movements ranging from 50 to 75 minutes

So, it should be 3/10.
