'Born in Scotland' is a research study following thousands of parents and babies living in Scotland

NO extra appointments or blood tests! Take part at any time in your pregnancy.

The study hopes to find out how health in pregnancy and early childhood shapes our lives. Help our team of researchers answer questions like:

Why are some babies born too early or ill in Scotland?
How does our time in the womb shape our health throughout our lives?

*Please note, leftover blood samples are NOT yet being collected for NHS Borders participants.
