Collected Dataset / PreDICTR_Mothers_Conception_Trimester1

The Conception cohort consists of women who were in their first trimester of pregnancy and who had a high risk pregnancy (premature labour, history of premature labour, hypertension, gestational diabetes, obesity, intra-uterine infection, systemic or localised infection, underlying inflammatory/immune-mediated diseases or any other condition deemed by the primary care physician to be a high risk factor).

At first trimester of pregnancy, women answered questionnaires about demographic profile, social and physical environment (demographic characteristics of parents, family structure and composition, social policy, socio-economic status, neighbourhood characteristics, social support, non-parental child care, parental behaviour and lifestyle) and interim updates. Also, questions about life events stressors, depression, temperament, physical activity mobility, nutrition diary, pain, medication, clinical and pregnancy histories were asked.

Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. Body mass index was calculated. Fetal fat and placental imaging were done by ultrasounds.

Blood, hair, and saliva (for inflammatory, toxicology and genetic studies) were collected.
