Strahm-Maternal Stress and Blood Sugar Metabolism During Pregnancy
Maternal Stress and Blood Sugar Metabolism During Pregnancy
Description
This study will recruit 150 pregnant women through Sanford Health prenatal care providers in Sioux Falls. Participants will undergo routine Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing mid pregnancy, and provide blood samples in order to track glycated albumin, a marker related to glucose metabolism. At three different time points during pregnancy, between 14-16, 24-26, and 34-36 weeks gestation, participants will report maternal stress, mental and general health (incl. anxiety and depressive symptoms), and wellness behaviors on standardized surveys. In addition, to assess stress reactivity participants will complete a laboratory stress task while we assess physiological markers of stress reactivity. After labor and delivery, data will be collected from medical charts regarding perinatal outcomes including maternal and neonate health and GDM-associated delivery outcomes (e.g., birth weight, maturity). This study will help us understand the mechanisms by which maternal mental health and stress impact glucose metabolization during pregnancy.
