Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn how a physically active lifestyle during pregnancy affects placental development and function. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does regular physical activity during pregnancy improve placental function and support healthy fetal growth?

Pregnant participants will provide biological samples and health information during pregnancy and at delivery. The study will use these samples to examine how activity levels relate to placental energy production and overall health.
