Multi-Omics for Maternal Health After Preeclampsia

The investigators will recruit and retain a diverse population of pregnant women who are high- and low-risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy/preeclampsia (HDP/PE) for longitudinal collection of phenotypic and environmental exposure measures and biosamples for integrative analysis of phenotypic, environmental, and multi-omic data to understand links between development of HDP/PE and associated fetal pathologies during pregnancy, as well as postpartum maternal health. Participation in the study will begin no later than the second trimester of pregnancy (enrollment by 24 weeks of gestation) and continue through the first year postpartum. Over the course of the study, biospecimens and relevant surveys and cardiovascular assessments will be collected at specified intervals/time-points, as outlined in the table below. In-person study visits should take no more than 30 minutes. Relevant medical information collected as part of routine clinical care will be obtained from the electronic medical record (EMR). The study will take place at UCSD and VUMC prenatal clinics and hospital labor and delivery units, or another private location of the participants choosing, such as their home or office.
