This study follows pregnant mothers and their babies for years to understand how early life factors can affect health later. If you qualify, you and your child(ren) will be asked to stay in the research study for at least 3 years after delivery.
This study looks at how a mother's weight before pregnancy and early prenatal care may influence the risk of obesity in their child. It aims to understand the origins of obesity starting from pregnancy.
This study follows mothers who previously joined two specific pregnancy research programs, to understand why some children may be more likely to develop weight and heart-related health problems later. If you were part of those original studies, your information could help researchers look for early predictors and prevention ideas.
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
This study follows teenagers whose mothers took part in an earlier lifestyle-in-pregnancy study (started in 2007–2010). It may help researchers understand how that earlier study relates to teen health and development.
