First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study collects placenta tissue, umbilical cord blood, and maternal blood from 1,250 pregnant women at delivery. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the placenta changes in healthy and complicated pregnancies, and how those changes may affect the baby's long-term health. The goal is to better understand pregnancy complications like preterm birth and diabetes, not to test a new treatment.
