Abstract

The concentration of prolactin in the amniotic fluid (AFPRL) was measured in 75 samples obtained in the third trimester of 14 isoimmunized women. There was a uniform decline in prolactin levels with advancing gestation in each pregnancy (r = −0.89 to −0.99). The decline in AFPRL was similar in uncomplicated pregnancies. AFPRL levels were not predictive of umbilical cord hemoglobin or bilirubin levels and amniotic fluid lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio.
