Summary
Brief summary
This study will measure the activity of the unborn baby during pregnancy, looking at the number of times s/he moves and how simple or complex the movements are. We expect that the unborn baby who is not getting enough nutrition during pregnancy will have fewer movements than other unborn babies. Once we have this information, we will be able to use it in the future to possibly prevent poor outcomes in those babies who do need help.
