A 29-year-old G1P0 at 30+5 weeks’ gestation is noted to have a fundal height measuring 3–4 cm behind dates on two visits, 2 weeks apart. Pregnancy dating was confirmed by a first-trimester ultrasound. She reports normal fetal movements and no vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage. Her medical history is unremarkable, and she does not smoke or use substances. Blood pressure is normal and urinalysis is negative for protein. A formal ultrasound estimates fetal weight at the 6th percentile with normal amniotic fluid and previously normal anatomy. What is the most appropriate next step in management?
Full answer analysis and choices are available inside the practice session.
