Iron levels in mothers and newborns
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 study looks at iron levels in pregnant women who are not anemic (not low in iron). It aims to understand iron status early in pregnancy to help ensure healthy outcomes for both mother and baby.
This study looks at how a mother's body fat might affect her iron needs during pregnancy. If you join, you may stop taking any current multivitamins to help researchers learn more about when iron supplements are truly needed.
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.
This study looks at whether iron deficiency anemia affects how babies and toddlers (6 to 24 months old) develop their thinking, learning, and behavior. It compares children who have iron-deficiency anemia with those who do not, to help doctors understand the impact on early brain development.
This study compares starting iron supplements before pregnancy versus waiting until the first trimester (first 3 months) to treat iron deficiency anemia. It aims to see which timing better improves health for mothers and babies.
