This study investigates iron levels in pregnant women who are expecting twins or triplets. Iron is important for making red blood cells, which carry oxygen in the body. Pregnant women need more iron, and not having enough can cause problems for both the mother and the babies.
The study will look at about 120 women who are pregnant with twins or triplets. Researchers will check their iron levels and other blood markers during pregnancy and at birth. They will also check the babies' iron levels at birth. Some women will get a special type of iron to see how well their bodies and their babies absorb it.
- Who can participate: Pregnant women expecting twins or triplets, who are otherwise healthy and do not have medical conditions affecting iron levels, can join the study
- Study details: The study will monitor iron levels and other blood markers in mothers and their babies. Some women will receive a special iron to study absorption, and stable iron isotopes will be used to assess maternal iron absorption and fetal iron uptake
