Amniotic fluid and the preterm baby's gut
Part of Genetic & congenital, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the fluid around your baby (amniotic fluid) and how it might affect your baby's gut health if they are born early. It may help doctors understand how to better care for preterm infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the gut works and what bacteria are in it for very early babies born at 24 to 32 weeks. It aims to understand gut health better to help improve care.
This trial tests whether flushing the amniotic sac (the fluid surrounding the baby) with saline solution can reduce brain injury when a mother develops a uterine infection during labor. The goal is to see if this simple treatment protects the baby's developing brain.
This study looks at two substances in the blood from the umbilical cord (IL-6 and lactate) to see if they can help doctors understand how well a newborn is doing after birth.
This study looks at the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) in women with a short cervix or with early breaking of the water (premature rupture of membranes). The goal is to better understand these conditions and possibly improve care.
This study looks at differences in the gut bacteria of babies born early (preterm) compared with babies born full-term. It may help researchers understand how early birth affects early health and gut development.
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
