I don't have this specific experience but I'm curious why you would have an ffn without any ptl symptoms?

I had that last pregnancy. Well, I guess I had one symptom.. I just felt a ton of low pressure and early - like 26-27 weeks. I carry all my babies very low though so I thought I needed a support belt or something. But my OB did a u/s just to make me feel better and low and behold my cervix was very short. They did an FFN and it came back positive. I was stunned. I thought I'd get an RX for a support belt and instead I got put on modified bedrest the duration of my pregnancy. Never had any contractions (until labor). Finally had baby at 39.5 weeks.

I'm not sure why but when I researched it a lot of sources divided the two for statistics on accuracy
