Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Inflammation

In brief

This research study will examine how diet during pregnancy can benefit pregnancy and pregnancy outcome, such as your baby's weight. More specifically, the investigators will study the effects of two different food oils/fats that are commonly consumed to determine if one is more effective in limiting maternal inflammation during pregnancy. You are being asked to take part in this study because it will help us update and make the best dietary recommendations for pregnant women and women of child bearing ages.
