Tracking how pregnancy changes metabolic risk markers
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows pregnant women to see how common metabolic health markers (like blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and belly size) change during pregnancy. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk for complications during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health during pregnancy is linked to pregnancy outcomes. It may help doctors better predict and improve outcomes by using information from routine prenatal care.
This study looks at heart and metabolic health during late pregnancy and after delivery, tracking both healthy women and those with complications like high blood pressure or diabetes in pregnancy. The goal is to understand how these risks change and what can be done to improve long-term health.
This study follows pregnant people to look at how blood sugar behaves during pregnancy. It may help doctors understand pregnancy-related blood sugar problems and who is at risk.
This study follows pregnant women from early pregnancy to learn how pregnancy affects future health. It may help identify ways to prevent diseases later in life.
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 follows pregnant people to better understand pregnancy complications like high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. You may be asked to provide regular health information and possibly samples to help researchers learn what affects you and your baby.
