Summary
This study tracks bone density and fracture risk in 1,230 pregnant and breastfeeding women using ultrasound scans and diet questionnaires. The goal is to catch early signs of pregnancy-related osteoporosis, a rare condition that can cause painful fractures. No drugs or treatments are being tested—only monitoring tools.
