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.
Fetal development is monitored closely throughout the pregnancy to ensure that everything is progressing well. Ultrasounds are performed between 5 and 9 weeks, and at 20 weeks to assess growth and fetal heart sounds are detected at most visits to insure that the pregnancy is viable. The fetal heart begins beating at about 5 weeks and can be detected by transvaginal ultrasound shortly after this.
