Inclusion Criteria:
* Spontaneous or induced labor
* Gestational ages between 35 - 42 weeks
* Singleton pregnancy
* Intrapartum non-reassuring or uninterpretable FHR tracing defined as any tracing that the Labor and Delivery obstetrician is uncomfortable about or feels does not absolutely provide fetal reassurance. Inclusive FHR patterns will be repetitive late decelerations, recurrent moderate to severe variable decelerations, reduced long or short-term variability, prolonged bradycardia (\<120/min) that resolves, persistent fetal tachycardia (\>160/min for \>60 min,) or any other FHR patterns necessitating further fetal well being evaluation (like scalp pH or scalp stimulation).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Multiple gestation
* Gestational age \< 35 weeks
* Patient denial to undergo ultrasound examination during labor
* Abnormal FHR tracing requiring stat delivery
