What types of tests are used to determine the chances of giving birth prematurely?


There are basically four types of tests to assess the likelihood of going into labor early:

1. Checking the cervical length (women with shorter than average cervixes are at increased risk of early labor

2. Premature rupture of membranes

3. Screening for bacterial vaginosis and its treatment with antibiotics (women with BV are at increased risk of experiencing preterm labor)

4. Administering the fFN test or Salivary estriol test
 
Is it normal to lose all interest in sex when you are pregnant?

Pregnancy may change your feelings about sex totally or it may have no effect on your sex life whatsoever. While some experience an improved sex life, for others sex totally fizzles out after becoming pregnant. For some women pregnancy symptoms put them off sex in the first trimester, only to have the interest revived in the second trimester, and the interest tapers off once again in the final trimester. Others have zero interest throughout the nine months and still others have a great time throughout the three trimesters. Blame it on the hormone estrogen! Some couples fear sex because of a bad history of miscarriage.
