Figure 4

(a) Cervical light-induced fluorescence (LIF) ratio throughout human pregnancy and postpartum. NP: nonpregnant; (b) uterine EMG propagation velocity increases immediately prior to delivery. delivery ≤ 7 days from the measurement; ● delivery > 7 days from the measurement. Based on data from Schlembach et al. [28] and Lucovnik et al. [19].
