Fetal fibronectin (fFN) is used to test pregnant women who are between 22 weeks and 35 weeks of gestation and are having symptoms of premature labor. The test helps predict the likelihood of premature delivery. Many pregnant women experience symptoms that suggest preterm labor.
Echogenic bowel is the most common echogenic mass in the fetal abdomen. To ensure that the bowel is truly echogenic, it must be as bright as adjacent bone. This finding is seen in 1% of second-trimester fetuses (1). It is seen predominantly in the lower fetal abdomen and pelvis as a uniformly hyperechoic, well-defined lesion that does not shadow (Fig 1). In about 50% of cases of isolated echogenic bowel, the appearance resolves over time with no clinical sequelae.
