Phase N/A

Gastroschisis is a condition where a baby's intestines are outside the body, seen during pregnancy ultrasound. This study investigates whether delivering babies with gastroschisis at about 35 weeks is better than waiting until 38 weeks. The study randomly assigns pregnant women at 33 weeks to either deliver at 35 weeks or observe until 38 weeks. The main goal is to compare outcomes like stillbirth, breathing problems, and nutrition needs of the baby.

Eligibility for the study includes English or Spanish-speaking pregnant women aged 18 or older, with a single baby diagnosed with gastroschisis before 33 weeks. Some exclusions include other fetal issues, growth problems, and certain maternal health conditions. Participants should be able to provide written consent.

  • Study involves making a decision about early delivery at 35 weeks or waiting until 38 weeks.
  • Participants will be monitored for outcomes like infant health and delivery complications.
  • Participants contribute to a large database for future gastroschisis research.
