Lipid Profile as Predictor of Adverse Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this research is to investigate whether lipids profiles during pregnancy impact LGA and other adverse outcomes in pregnancy. Participants will have blood drawn twice; the first blood work is a fasting blood draw (separate blood draw) on the same day but preceding the standard glucose test. The second blood draw is drawn at the time of routine clinical care (third trimester blood work). Patients will be approached at the time of the anatomy ultrasound for participation. If they consent to participate they will have a FASTING lipid panel drawn at the time of their 24-28w GCT and again at the time of their 36w third trimester labs. Patients will receive a reminder call prior to scheduled 24-28 week appointment for fasting instructions.
