Abstract

Compositions and methods for predicting due date and time to birth for a pregnancy with significantly higher accuracy than current clinical methods. The compositions and methods for predicting due date and time to birth for a pregnancy can also identify those pregnancies that will deliver earlier than the due date derived from Last Menstrual Period (LMP) and/or obstetric ultrasonography (US) dating.
