• Ability to hold an ultrasound probe and respond to clinician instructions
• BMI less than 40 at initial prenatal visit
• Scheduled biophysical profile (BPP)
• Any maternal/pregnancy complications requiring antenatal testing, including but not limited to intrauterine growth restriction, chronic or gestational hypertension, preexisting or gestational diabetes, autoimmune disorder, etc.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Multiple gestation
• Known major fetal structural anomaly or aneuploidy
