Respiratory infections before and during early pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether catching a respiratory virus (like a cold or flu) within 6 months before getting pregnant, or during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, is linked to pregnancy outcomes. It may help you if you had such an infection and want to understand its effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how gum inflammation during pregnancy might relate to health outcomes. Researchers will collect saliva and a sample of amniotic fluid (the fluid around your baby) to test for certain markers.
This study looks at how very small particles in the air and water might affect the health of you and your baby during pregnancy. It helps us understand if these particles are linked to pregnancy risks.
This study looks at how the immune system responds to a first-time cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy. The goal is to find better ways to predict if the virus will pass to the baby.
This study tests whether giving two vaccines—one for whooping cough (Tdap) and one for RSV—at the same time is safe and effective compared to giving them separately during pregnancy. It may help protect your baby from both diseases early in life.
This study looks at blood sugar levels in early pregnancy to understand how they differ between women with and without risk factors for gestational diabetes. If you join, you'll wear a small monitor that tracks your glucose continuously for about 3 to 4 months.
