If you join this study, you will come to 7 study visits between the time you are 10-14 weeks pregnant until you are 6 months postpartum. Your baby will take part in 3 study visits after they are born. All study visits will take place at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus or at the location of your choice on our mobile lab-van. At these study visits we will ask you questions and have you fill out surveys about your physical and mental health. We will use a needle to collect blood samples. We will take a small sample of hair from your head. During one visit, we will have you drink a sugary drink and then we will take a few blood samples to see how your body reacts to sugar. At the visits after your baby is born, we will collect a small amount of hair from yours and your baby's head. We will also do a test where a curtain is separating you and your baby, and we will collect a small amount of spit from you and your baby at a few time points during the separation. You will be paid up to $410 if you take part in all the study visits.
