Obesity and Doppler ultrasound in full-term pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to check blood flow in the umbilical cord of full-term pregnant women who are either obese or normal weight. It aims to see if obesity affects the baby's well-being before birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or more).
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant (full term).

- You are either obese (BMI 30 or higher) or normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9).
