Research today for personalized maternity care tomorrow
The Biological Rhythms Before & After Your Birth Study is being offered by the MuMH Lab at the University of Arizona.
COMING SOON!!!
Why are we doing this study?
- The 40-week estimated due date is only an average estimate of how long pregnancy might last—it doesn’t offer a personalized prediction of when labor will actually begin.
- Improved and advanced prediction could improve care planning and outcomes for both mothers and babies, especially for issues like preterm birth.
- More accurate predictions could also mean less anxiety around the unknown.
- Allow families to better plan for parental leave or childcare, and improved planning could help people feel more prepared and empowered during their pregnancy journey.
