Blood Test May Predict Premature Birth
by Kristie Hayes
A study published in the May issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology shows that three peptide biomarkers plus some other proteins in the blood can be used to determine if a woman is likely to give birth prematurely. Premature birth is associated with a lot of health problems, both right after birth and on into childhood.

Premature birth is associated with a lot of health problems, both right after birth and on into childhood.
Eighty women who gave birth to full term babies and 80 who gave birth prematurely had a drop of blood sampled. The results suggested that 80 percent of premature births could be detected in the second trimester.
Having this knowledge could allow a woman and her doctor develop a plan of action in terms of how active she should be, if she should travel or even receive hormones that can delay labor.
