Fetal fibronectin (fFN) test?

[maytobe]

Anyone ever been prescribed an fFN test to check if you stand the possibility of going into preterm labor? I only just read about it today. My doctor has not recommended any such test but I was simply curious about it. Is it invasive and is it safe and better to get it done?

I had this done, because i have a heart shaped uterus. It wasn't invasive, and inthe end i was happy i got it done because it showed i was going into laobor at 19 weeks, so i was put onto bedrest and my DD lived!

I had this done my last pregnancy when I was having some issues about 33 weeks. It is just basically like a pap smear, not anymore invasive. They just perform a pap and then test the sample and the test somehow tells them if you are likely to go into labor in the next 2 weeks.
