First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body handles caffeine and how much of it reaches her unborn baby. Researchers will give a small dose of caffeine to 30 women at risk of preterm delivery before a planned C-section. Blood samples from the mother, placenta, and newborn will help create a computer model of caffeine metabolism during pregnancy. The goal is to learn how to use caffeine safely to treat breathing problems in premature infants.
