The investigators plan to identify 80 pregnant women at low risk for obstetrical complications and replace 4-5 routine third trimester visits with a structured program of home weight, blood pressure and urine protein monitoring along with regular structured phone interviews and a 28 week ultrasound. The investigators hypothesis is that this protocol is both safe and acceptable.
