Maternal Abdominal Morphology Assessment

Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin

Summary

Previous studies have shown that pancreas size tends to be smaller in individuals with diabetes compared to those without diabetes. The investigators have recently found that pancreas size increases during pregnancy. The MAMA study aims to examine changes in the pancreas that occur during pregnancy, in both pregnant mothers and their babies, and find out how they are affected by maternal diabetes. The MAMA study is a prospective cohort study that will follow women and their babies through pregnancy and one year postpartum. Women aged 18-54, who are under 14 weeks pregnant are being recruited to participate in the MAMA study.
