NCT ID NCT07743567
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications before pregnancy influences how much weight a woman gains during pregnancy and her pregnancy outcomes. Researchers will compare pregnant women who used these medications before conception with those who did not. Participants will fill out questionnaires during and after pregnancy about their medication history and feelings around food. The goal is to gather information that could help guide future recommendations.
