How maternal hemoglobin levels affect birth outcomes
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether different levels of hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) in pregnant women affect the health of the mother and baby around birth. It aims to find if certain levels are better or worse for outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how iron levels in mothers during pregnancy affect the iron levels and health of their newborns. By joining, you help doctors understand if iron deficiency in moms is linked to lower iron stores in babies, which could guide better care for future pregnancies.
This trial looks at how a mother’s iron levels during pregnancy might affect her child’s health. It aims to learn more about the link, which could help improve care for both.
This trial studies how hemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein in blood) is checked during pregnancy. It may help improve or confirm the best way to monitor blood health in pregnant patients.
This study compares two different standard care approaches for women after a normal vaginal delivery. It looks at which approach leads to better recovery and well-being in the days after birth.
This study looks at why some newborns develop anemia (low red blood cells) and how it affects their health in the NICU. It aims to find better ways to care for babies with this condition.
This study compares two ways of giving iron to pregnant women with anemia after 34 weeks of pregnancy: iron pills taken by mouth or iron given through a vein (IV). The goal is to see which method works better to raise hemoglobin levels and improve health for both mother and baby.
