Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Placenta donated

Time Frame: immediate

The purpose of this study is to collect placenta for the production of mitochondria. Therefore, only general measurements are taken such as placenta weight and health of mother during pregnancy. No further intervention or interaction with the mother will occur, and she does not receive any drug product or treatment prior to or after placenta donation.
