Understanding Pregnancy Signals and Infant Development (UPSIDE)
Understanding Pregnancy Signals and Infant Development (UPSIDE)
Purpose of UPSIDE
The purpose of this study is to learn about how the ways in which a mother’s daily environment and changing emotions may affect her baby’s development. We are particularly interested in hormones, which are messengers that carry signals from a mother to her baby. We are trying to understand the ways in which those hormones influence the baby’s health and development.
