The comparison of plasma fibronectin in term and preterm delivery: A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study.

Background: Preterm delivery is one of the main causes of infant death. Therefore, prediction of preterm delivery may eliminate a large number of prenatal complications.

Objective: The present study aimed to understand if preterm delivery can be predicted by assessing maternal plasma fibronectin concentration.

The Effect of Acupressure at GB-21 and SP-6 Acupoints on Anxiety Level and Maternal-Fetal Attachment in Primiparous Women: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Delivery is one of the most stressful events in women's life. Excessive anxiety, in turn, increases delivery and pregnancy complications. Mother's positive experience of delivery leads to more effective maternal-fetal attachment in the first few hours of birth.
