Study stress patterns in early pregnancy and preterm birth risk
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress shows up in the body during early pregnancy and whether it’s linked to preterm birth (birth before 37 weeks). You may be asked about your stress and health to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows up on families who were already in an earlier research project about preterm birth. It looks at how parents' stress during pregnancy and after birth might affect their child's mental health as they grow up.
This study tests a lifestyle coaching program to help reduce stress and improve emotional wellbeing during pregnancy. It may help lower risks for the baby by supporting healthier daily routines and mental health.
This study tests whether mindfulness sessions can help reduce stress for pregnant women who are at risk of delivering early. Participants will be admitted to the hospital and take part in mindfulness practices to see if they improve well-being during their stay.
This study tests a personalized care program to help reduce stress during pregnancy and prevent early birth. It is for pregnant women at higher risk of preterm birth and aims to improve health for both mother and baby.
This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
This study looks at how stress affects the heart health of mothers and their babies after pregnancy. It builds on a larger study that followed women at risk for preeclampsia, and it aims to understand how stress responses might influence future heart disease risk.
