ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how exercise affects the heart rates of both pregnant women and their babies. Specifically, it will study the effects of physical activity on fetal heart rate, blood flow, and overall health during pregnancy. The goal is to see how exercise impacts moms who are athletes and to ensure that both they and their babies are safe during physical activity.

To participate in this trial, women need to be healthy, active, and between the ages of 18 and 45. They should be regularly exercising for more than four hours a week and be in the later stages of a single pregnancy (between 28 and 34 weeks). Participants will need to sign a consent form to join. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it will provide important information about how physical activity can be safely monitored in pregnant women, which can help improve the health of both mothers and their babies.
