Front 6

When does fetal movement warrant further evaluation?

Back 6

less than 3 movements within one hour, need to evaluate by a nonstress test or a contraction stress test or a modified biophysical profile

What is the most valuable diagnostic tool used in obstetrics?

Back 7

diagnostic ultrasonohraphy provides fetal activity, gestational age, normal vs. abnormal fetal growth curves, fetal and placental anatomy, fetal well being and visual assistance
