A 37-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, comes to the office for the evaluation of abnormal laboratory and sonogram results. She previously had a regular menstrual period every 28 days and is currently at 18 weeks gestation. She regularly takes prenatal vitamins and has no other medical conditions. Vital signs are within normal limits. A fetal anomaly scan performed one week ago was significant for polyhydramnios and intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR). A second trimester quadruple screening test is performed at this visit, and the results are shown below:

 Maternal serum alpha fetoprotein  Low 
 Unconjugated estriol  Low
