Ultrasound study of baby's movements in pregnancy
This study uses ultrasound to observe how babies move in the womb during routine pregnancy check-ups. It aims to learn more about typical and atypical movement patterns, which may help understand neurodevelopment.

This study tests a new ultrasound technique to look at fetal muscles in pregnant women, which might help detect joint or movement problems early. It aims to see if the technique is feasible and could improve prenatal diagnosis.
This study tests a new smartphone app called Womb Watch that helps pregnant patients track their baby's movements. Researchers want to see if the app is easy to use and helpful for monitoring fetal health during the third trimester of pregnancy.
This study uses ultrasound during labor to see how well your baby is moving down the birth canal. It may help doctors guide delivery and make labor safer.
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
