Late pregnancy diabetes testing and C-section rates
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if checking for gestational diabetes later in pregnancy (after 30 weeks) in women whose baby is large can lower C-section rates. You may qualify if your baby is estimated to be large and you don't already have diabetes.
