Amniotic fluid ferning in early gestation.

Abstract:

:Ferning of amniotic fluid was studied in early pregnancy. Arborization was demonstrated during the interval of 6 1/2 to 16 weeks by flame-drying. Air-drying yielded a spectrum of crystallization from none prior to 8 weeks to full ferning by 16 weeks. Technical differences are stressed.
