Early Stress Screening After Emergency Cesarean Delivery
This study looks at whether certain signs of distress right after an unexpected cesarean delivery can predict who might develop PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) later. Researchers want to understand this connection so they can help women who are struggling after this traumatic birth experience.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT05370820RecruitingPhase 2
Tranexamic acid to prevent heavy bleeding after C-section
This trial studies whether tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can prevent postpartum hemorrhage (heavy bleeding after delivery) in people having a planned C-section or likely vaginal delivery after 34 weeks. It may help lower the risk of dangerous bleeding around the time of birth.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–50 - NCT05977686Recruiting
Hemoglobin testing in pregnant adults

Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–50 - NCT07799805Recruiting
Doula support for pregnant women in North Central Florida
This study looks at whether having a doula—a trained support person—during pregnancy can help reduce stress and improve health outcomes for mothers. It is designed for women who are eligible for Medicaid and live in North Central Florida.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 15–49 - NCT06604325Recruiting
Tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss during c-section
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called tranexamic acid before a cesarean section (c-section) can help reduce the amount of blood loss during the surgery. It may be an option for women having either a planned or unplanned c-section.
Fatehpur, Uttar PradeshAges 18–45 - NCT07526038Recruiting
Physical therapy for postpartum pelvic joint pain
This study tests whether a hands-on movement technique combined with core exercises helps postpartum mothers with sacroiliac joint pain (a pain in the lower back/buttock area). The research compares this combined approach to see if it reduces pain and improves function.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT07473609Recruiting
Studying epidurals that don't work well during labor
This study looks at epidurals that don't work well during labor. It aims to understand why some epidurals fail, which could help improve pain relief for mothers.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06812806Recruiting
Pelvic changes after birth and urine leakage risk
This study looks at how changes in the pelvis after delivery might be linked to urine leaking after childbirth. It compares women who had a vaginal birth, a vacuum-assisted birth, or a C-section to understand the connection.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–45 - NCT07302165Enrolling by invitation
Online tool to screen and prevent postpartum depression in parents-to-be

CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07263490Recruiting
Pre-eclampsia Risk in Egg Recipients Study
This study looks at whether women who become pregnant after receiving donated eggs have a higher risk of developing pre-eclampsia (a serious blood pressure condition) during pregnancy. It aims to understand risks so doctors can better support pregnant women.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06898034Recruiting
Ultrasound after childbirth to predict bleeding risk
This trial uses an ultrasound after you give birth to see if it can help predict heavy bleeding. It aims to find safer ways to monitor and prevent hemorrhage in new mothers.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 17 years+ - NCT06991166Recruiting
A therapy study for new mothers with depression whose baby is in the NICU
This study tests a new talk therapy program to help new mothers with depression whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). You may join if you gave birth in the last year and have signs of depression, like a diagnosis or certain feelings.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06968390Recruiting
Faster TMS for depression during pregnancy or after childbirth
This trial tests a faster form of TMS (brain stimulation) for people with depression who are pregnant (14-34 weeks) or within one year of giving birth. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT06845423RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing blood clots after childbirth in women at intermediate risk
This study tests whether giving a short course of a daily blood-thinning injection (enoxaparin) after childbirth can safely prevent blood clots in women at intermediate risk. If you qualify, you would receive the injection or a placebo (inactive shot) for up to 5 days while in the hospital.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06797206Recruiting

Nashville, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06031714Recruiting
Fetal cells in women with skin ulcers
This study looks at fetal cells that stay in a woman's body after pregnancy to see if they play a role in chronic skin ulcers. It includes women who have had a baby and have a venous, diabetic, sickle cell, or mixed ulcer, as well as healthy women for comparison.
