Abstract
(1) PGH is detectable in AF at both mid- and third trimesters; (2) the median AF concentration of PGH is significantly lower at term when compared to the second trimester; (3) labor at term is not associated with changes in the AF concentration of PGH. The role of this unique placental hormone now found in the fetal compartment requires further investigation.
