Placenta study in healthy and complicated pregnancies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the placenta works in healthy pregnancies and in pregnancies with conditions like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or fetal growth restriction. It may help find new ways to detect or treat these problems.

This study looks at how the lining of the womb (the luteal phase) affects the placenta in early pregnancy. It aims to understand why some pregnancies have complications and may help improve care for future pregnancies.
This study collects placenta tissue (or pregnancy tissue after an abortion) to understand pregnancy problems connected to abnormal placentas. Your participation may help researchers learn what causes these problems and how to improve care.
This study looks at how cells in the placenta handle stress in pregnancies with complications like preeclampsia or poor fetal growth. It aims to understand why some placentas don't work well, which could lead to better treatments.
This study examines how the placenta works in normal pregnancies and in pregnancies with certain complications. Your answers and pregnancy information may help researchers understand why complications like growth problems or preterm birth happen.
This research study uses a special MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about how the placenta works and find new ways to check on the health of both mom and baby.
This study looks at blood markers to find women at risk for placental problems during pregnancy. It involves blood tests in early and late pregnancy, and at birth, to see how iron levels and other factors affect the placenta and baby's health.
