Fetal fibronectin (fFN) is used to test pregnant women who are between 22 weeks and 35 weeks of gestation and are having symptoms of premature labor. The test helps predict the likelihood of premature delivery. Many pregnant women experience symptoms that suggest preterm labor.
What the Test Does. Fibronectin is a protein that connects the amniotic sac to your uterus -- almost like glue. As the sac begins to separate before birth, your body releases the excess fibronectin. The test checks the level of fibronectin in your cervix. High levels can mean that you may go into labor early.ow levels of fetal fibronectin rule out the possibility of labor within the next two weeks. High levels don't necessarily mean that you are going into labor. They just indicate you're at higher risk. Your doctor may want to do more tests, such as ultrasounds.
