Melissa asked in Pregnancy & ParentingPregnancy · 1 decade ago

Has anyone had the fetal fibronectin test?

I had this test done today and it was negative, meaing I should not go into labor within the next 2 weeks, which is good since I'm only 23 weeks along. If you've had this test, what was the outcome of the test, and was it correct? Thank you.

    My wife had one 2 weeks ago today. She was 27 1/2 weeks and it was negative. So far, she still hasn't had the baby.

    (She's on bed rest, though because she has pre-term contractions.)

    I had one done at 32 weeks, and it was positive. I had my second one done at 34 weeks and it was also positive. I had another one done at 36 weeks, and it was POSITIVE! I am now 37 weeks pregnant... no baby yet. I was told that they are horrible inaccurate, with a high rate of false neg and pos.
