About this study
In plain language
This study looks at whether using GLP-1RA medicines for weight loss before pregnancy affects weight gain and pregnancy outcomes. It is for pregnant adult women who have or have not used these medicines. Participants fill out surveys during and after pregnancy about past medicine use and thoughts and feelings about food.
The goal of this observational study is to learn if using GLP-1RA medications for weight loss before pregnancy influences gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes. The main aims of the study are to: * Compare gestational weight gain between women with preconception GLP-1RA exposure and those without exposure. * Compare obstetrical outcomes between women with preconception GLP-1RA exposure and those without exposure. Researchers will compare pregnant women with a history of GLP-1RA use to pregnant women who have not used a GLP-1RA to compare differences. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at multiple timepoints during and after pregnancy that ask questions about medication history, thoughts and feelings around food, etc.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
