How weight, diabetes, and bariatric surgery affect pregnancy
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how weight, blood-sugar problems, and past weight-loss surgery affect pregnancy outcomes. You may be able to help researchers understand what to expect and how to plan care during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant right now.
- Your body weight falls into one of these groups: under BMI 30, or BMI 30 or higher (obesity).
- You have a “glucose disorder” (blood-sugar problem) OR you have had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery in the past.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood sugar measurements in pregnant women who have had weight-loss (bariatric) surgery before getting pregnant. Researchers want to find which blood sugar tests best predict gestational diabetes—a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy—so they can catch and treat it earlier.
This study looks at how blood sugar and related markers change during pregnancy after weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve). It also compares pregnancy outcomes, to help understand what to expect and how to monitor you during pregnancy.
This study looks at how your body’s fat under the skin and inside the abdomen may affect “insulin resistance,” a common problem linked with blood sugar control. It’s for people who are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, to learn more before and after surgery.
This study looks at breastfeeding mothers and how a mother’s pregnancy and health factors may relate to a child’s growth and body fat. You might be able to join if you were normal weight or overweight/obese before pregnancy and you meet the pregnancy and delivery health requirements.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
This study tests whether bariatric (weight-loss) surgery can improve blood sugar control in people with obesity and either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. You may be enrolled in one of these glucose groups, and the researchers will monitor changes before and after surgery.
