A 25-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, at 31 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) presents with vaginal bleeding. She noticed the bleeding in the morning; she has been wearing the same pad for the past 4 hours, and it is approximately 25% saturated. She has no pain, contractions, loss of fluid, or decreased fetal movement. A routine ultrasound at 20 weeks EGA showed a fundal placenta consisting of a single lobe, with central insertion of a 3-vessel umbilical cord. Her first pregnancy was uncomplicated and resulted in a cesarean birth at term for non-reassuring fetal monitoring during labor. Temperature is 36.5°C (97.8°F), pulse is 78/min, respirations are 16/min, and blood pressure is 114/78 mmHg. The patient is alert, oriented, and conversant. There is no abdominal tenderness. The first 10 minutes of cardiotocographic monitoring show a baseline fetal heart rate of 140/min, moderate variability, and no accelerations, decelerations, or contractions. Which of the following would be most helpful for diagnosing the underlying cause of vaginal bleeding in this patient?
