MiNESS 20-28

About the study

The study is aiming to identify medical, environmental, lifestyle and healthcare factors that could affect pregnancies and the well being of the baby between 20-28 weeks pregnancy.

Who can take part?

There are 2 groups of women who can take part.

1. People who are still pregnant or who have recently given birth to their baby between 20 and 28 weeks pregnancy.
2. Recently pregnant people who have had a baby loss during pregnancy, labour or immediately after birth between 20 and 28 weeks pregnancy.

What is involved?

There are no extra visits to hospital.

• If you're eligible to take part, we will contact you by phone when you're around 20 weeks pregnant.
• If you want to take part, you will need to sign a consent form. This will be sent via an email.
• You will then take part in an interview with the Research Midwife to complete a questionnaire at a time that's convenient for you.
