PREGNANCY: Test May Predict Moms Who Will Deliver PrematurelyFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:58:09 -0500 (CDT)
Test May Predict Moms Who Will Deliver Prematurely Analysis of amniotic and cervical fluids yields clues to early birth TUESDAY, July 21 (HealthDay News) -- Testing for a panel of proteins in amniotic and cervical fluids might enable doctors to identify women who are in danger of giving birth prematurely. No such test exists now. If perfected, such a tool could supplement a test now available that can determine which women face a lower risk of delivering early. Still, identifying women at higher risk would enable doctors to give babies steroids in the womb to help mature their lungs faster. These are considered most effective when given two to seven days before delivery. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_87160.html Best Regards, Hope Waltman, WHF Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org/questionstoask.html
