Study how pregnancy blood vessels change in late pregnancy
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood vessels adapt during late pregnancy, especially around the time of a C-section. Your participation may help researchers understand normal pregnancy changes and how they differ in certain complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and between 18 and 40 years old
- You are pregnant with one baby (singleton pregnancy)
- At the time you sign up, you are between 28 weeks and 0 days and 41 weeks and 0 days pregnant
- You are planning to have a C-section (planned or unplanned, with or without labor)
- Your C-section is not because of sudden severe placental separation (abruption) or bleeding problems

This study looks at how the placenta and blood vessels work in pregnancy, especially in preeclampsia and babies with growth restriction (IUGR). It may help researchers build a blood sample collection and learn what could predict or explain these complications.
This study looks at blood-flow and artery health signs during pregnancy to better understand why preeclampsia happens. It compares women with preeclampsia to women with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and may help improve early detection and care.
This trial follows women who have had preeclampsia to learn more about their health after pregnancy. It collects blood and tissue samples to find markers that could improve future care.
This study measures blood vessel–related markers in pregnant people who already have high blood pressure or early preeclampsia. The goal is to predict who is more likely to get worse, so care can be better targeted.
This pilot study looks at tiny particles in blood (microvesicles) to learn how they differ in women with threatened preterm delivery, with or without pre-eclampsia. Results may help doctors better identify risk and improve care for early delivery.
This study collects placenta tissue (or pregnancy tissue after an abortion) to understand pregnancy problems connected to abnormal placentas. Your participation may help researchers learn what causes these problems and how to improve care.
