NuMoM2b heart health follow-up for moms after their first pregnancy
Continuation of the NuMoM2b Heart Health Study
This project follows people who had their first pregnancy to see how pregnancy complications relate to heart health over time using in-person and remote visits.

What this research studies
You would be recontacted as part of a long-term group of people who gave birth for the first time between 2010 and 2014. The team uses past pregnancy blood samples and your medical information, plus new health checks, to learn about heart risk after pregnancy. To make it easier to stay involved, the project offers home visits, clinic visits, and remote or hybrid visits using phone or apps. Multiple related research activities run at once so the team can collect more kinds of health data without asking you to come in as often.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people who participated in the original nuMoM2b enrollment as nulliparous women (first pregnancy in 2010–2014) and are willing to do follow-up visits in-person or remotely.
Not a fit: People who were not part of the original nuMoM2b cohort, men, or anyone unwilling to take part in follow-up contacts or sample collection would not directly benefit from joining this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help identify which pregnancy problems raise future heart disease risk and guide earlier prevention for mothers.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research, including earlier nuMoM2b analyses, has already linked some pregnancy complications to later heart disease, and this follow-up builds on that evidence while testing remote and hybrid visit methods.
