Contractions are often the first sign a baby is on the way. But when they happen too early, they can trigger fear of a pre-term delivery. Now, a simple screening test can help rule out whether it's a false alarm. Predicting which pregnancies will go full term and who will deliver early causes anxiety for both women and their doctors. A test performed right in the doctor's office can help take away some of the guesswork. The fetal fibronectin test is similar to a Pap smear and measures a protein that is released in the earliest stages of labor.
