Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will recruit pregnant women who are either obese or normal weight and otherwise healthy. We will measure their body composition, food intake and other characteristics during pregnancy. When their babies are born, we will evaluate the brain development of their babies using magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography at age two weeks. We will then compare the findings and see if their are differences.
