I might get to be part of a research study at University of Michigan!

I'm so excited! My OB is through U of M and I am delivering there, same as with my first. I got a letter in the mail from them saying they're doing a research study on fetal growth throughout pregnancy. I'm eligible for the study! It basically just means I get 3 extra visits and 3 extra ultrasounds! One at 12 weeks, one at 22 weeks and one at 34 weeks and a postpartum visit.

I emailed the study coordinator and said I'm definitely interested. I hope I really get to do it! Plus I'm a huge nerd and I like research studies, so the idea of getting to be part of one is pretty sweet.

That is exciting. I am a Michigander as well and wondering if my Dr. participates in any sturdies, I should ask! Good Luck!!

Is it the "nuMOM2b" study? I'm doing that one and we get 3 extra 3D ultrasounds that I'm really excited for!

Very cool! There aren't any studies near me that I qualify for or I would totally be in one! I think they are interesting as well and will help future moms/ babies.

It's the GROW study, and I think its measuring fetal growth throughout the pregnancy. I'm so excited!
