Mapping Antenatal Maternal Stress

This study recruits women from early-mid pregnancy and later follows their children after birth, tracking both the mother and child until the child reaches at least 4 years of age. The study aims to examine the determinants of maternal mental health during pregnancy and how genetic factors could influence maternal mental health and child outcomes.

Mapping Antenatal Maternal Stress - Child Outcomes

This study is a sub-study of Mapping Antenatal Maternal Stress (MAMS). Women previously enrolled in MAMS, their children and their partners/spouses were recruited for a set of more comprehensive assessments to characterise early neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, their associations with antenatal and postnatal maternal emotional health, and how paternal genetics, mental health and parenting styles and perceptions may influence this relationship.

Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes

This study aims to examine the role of genetic and epigenetic factors, maternal nutrition, lifestyle, emotional health, and other environmental factors in pregnancy or postpartum period that can influence future maternal risk of metabolic and mental wellness, including body weight changes. The study will recruit women in early pregnancy and later follow their children after birth, tracking both the mother and child until the child reaches at least 20 years of age.

Singapore PREconception Study of Long-Term Maternal and Child Outcomes

We aim to test the following primary hypothesis that nutrition, lifestyle, and maternal emotional health prior to pregnancy and/or during the first trimester alter the expression of metabolic or neurodevelopmental endophenotypes with accompanying effects on the epigenome/transcriptome of the offspring.
