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.
