title: [Fibronectin pattern in the first and second trimester of normal pregnancy].
abstract: Studied were 25 healthy gravidae in the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Plasma fibronectin (pFN) was assayed in maternal blood serum and the fetal fibronectin (fFN) was quantified in cervico-vaginal secretion. The highest level of fFN was found in the cervico-vaginal secretion of the 1st trimester gravidae while the pFN levels gradually raised to reach its peak between 21 and 24 gestational weeks.
