A member asked:
Help. 27 weeks pregnant, positive ffn test, dilated 1 centimeter, 6 mm cervical length. what are the chances of preterm birth, and will it be soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Significant: The +ffn indicates a possible risk of preterm labor. Cervical dilatation at 27wks in the first pregnancy plus significant cervical shortening on sono further raises the odds of a preterm labor. You should speak to you OB doc regarding possible preventative strategies.
