The information of Mothers having required conditions to enter to the study has been registered and after delivery, they called again to be interviewed. These data sets using statistical tests: chi-square test and ROC Curve was analysis. Results: There is a direct relationship between the increase AFP (P value =0.011) serum level and preterm delivery. Also, there is an inverse relationship between the UE3 (P value =0.002) serum level and preterm delivery. Moreover, there is not any relationship between the increase HCG (P value =0.68) serum level and preterm delivery. Conclusion :The increase in the AFP and decrease in UE3 serum levels in the second trimester of pregnancy lead to enhance the probability of preterm delivery. Moreover, if the current study is done with higher samples and different sampling environment, may be having different results.
