Summary
This study follows over 4,000 women who were tracked during their first pregnancy to see how pregnancy complications like high blood pressure or diabetes relate to future heart disease. Researchers will check for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity over time. The goal is to better predict and prevent heart disease in women. Participants do not receive any treatment—this is an observational study.

Who is studied
The original nuMoM2b cohort consisted of an ethnically and racially diverse group of pregnant women aged 13 or over who had not had a pregnancy lasting 20 weeks or more, enrolled during the first trimester. Overall, 62% of the nuMoM2b-HHS participants are non-Hispanic white, 14% non-Hispanic black, 16% Hispanic, and 8% mixed race or other. The socio-demographics on the nuMoM2b-HHS participants vary substantially by clinical site, contributing to a rich degree of diversity within the cohort.
