First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study will use a special type of MRI (fMRI) to measure blood flow and oxygen levels in the placenta during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Researchers want to see if these measurements differ between women who were obese before pregnancy and those with a normal weight. The goal is to better understand how obesity may affect the placenta and pregnancy outcomes.
