Pregnancy Care Breakthroughs 2025: What’s New
Research
In 2025, pregnancy care moved decisively toward precision, personalization, and real-world accessibility. ACOG’s 2025 clinical consensus emphasized redesigned prenatal care delivery—addressing unmet social needs, rethinking visit frequency, and integrating telemedicine and alternative care modalities [1]. AI-assisted ultrasound crossed a key threshold from “promising” to “practical,” with the PROMETHEUS randomized trial reporting shorter scans and lower sonographer cognitive load without reduced diagnostic performance [2]. For suspected preeclampsia, angiogenic biomarker testing (sFlt-1/PlGF ratio) gained stronger operational footing via clinical thresholds used to guide short-term risk triage and care pathways [4][5]. Feasibility evidence for home maternal-fetal monitoring (home CTG and home ultrasound) also strengthened in 2025, showing clinically interpretable recordings and high acceptability in a high-risk cohort [6]. In gestational diabetes, the GRACE trial found rt-CGM reduced LGA births while highlighting the need to avoid overly tight glycaemic targets that could contribute to SGA risk [7]. Globally, WHO released consolidated postpartum haemorrhage guidance on 5 October 2025 and promoted rapid-response bundles such as MOTIVE [8][9], and also introduced a digital adaptation kit to support self-monitoring of blood pressure in pregnancy (15 July 2025) [10]. This article combines an evidence-based review of these advances with a 2025 keyword-intent map reflecting how pregnant people typically search and progress from questions to decisions.
