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 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 is for pregnant women with mild to moderate iron-deficiency anemia. It tests a treatment to help raise your hemoglobin levels and improve your energy and health during pregnancy.
This trial compares two ways to treat iron deficiency anemia in late pregnancy: taking chelated oral iron pills versus receiving intravenous (IV) iron sucrose. The goal is to see which treatment is more effective and safer for women who are 26 to 34 weeks pregnant.
This study looks at how the hormone hepcidin and blood sugar/metabolism change during pregnancy, and how they respond to either stopping iron supplements briefly or taking a specific prenatal iron-containing multivitamin. It may help doctors better understand iron balance in pregnancy and how it could affect metabolism.
