What this trial studies

This is an observational study enrolling about 50 pregnant women between 14 and 28 weeks of gestation. It aims to explore how body image dissatisfaction, eating behaviors, and daily stress exposure associate with how the body metabolizes blood sugar during pregnancy. Data will be collected through participant reports and clinical measures to identify potential links with gestational glucose regulation. The findings could help identify additional risk factors for abnormal glucose during pregnancy beyond traditional factors. No interventions are described in this protocol, and the study is conducted at sites in Fargo, ND and Sioux Falls, SD with Sanford Health and North Dakota State University collaboration.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could improve understanding of nontraditional factors that influence blood sugar in pregnancy, potentially informing screening and early risk identification.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research has linked stress, body image, and eating behaviors to metabolic changes; this project builds on that work with a pregnancy-specific focus, which is relatively novel.
