Patient Packet and Consent Form

We know you are very busy preparing for your new baby, so your study visits will be coordinated with your regular prenatal visits whenever possible.

Although your first study visit will be scheduled before your prenatal care begins, you can have your first prenatal blood draw done at the study visit - just bring the lab requisition form you received in the prenatal information packet from your clinician.

Your follow-up study visits will be scheduled right after your prenatal ultrasound appointments whenever possible, or at a time that is most convenient for you. Again, many tests requested by your physician can be done during your study visit to save you time.

Why so many visits?

All of these visits are important to the design of the study. We will be studying how factors change over the course of your entire pregnancy. Monitoring how these measurements change will allow us to understand the pattern of relationships among many factors and the way that your baby grows while you are pregnant.
