Summary. The date of delivery in 62 normal pregnant women was predicted by last menstrual period, by ultrasound scan and by the serum concentration of Schwangerschaftsprotein 1 (SP1). It was found that SP1 concentration in the first trimester gave as reliable an indication of when labour would occur as did the last menstrual period or ultrasound scan.
