The purpose of this study is to investigate the pathogenesis of hemangiomas of infancy as
they relate to normal pregnancies and those pregnancies complicated by placenta
abnormalities. Women of all gestational ages will be enrolled in the study. Maternal serum,
placental, and cord blood samples will be obtained for each subject. A medical history will
be obtained for each subject. Post-delivery a member of the study team will perform a
cutaneous exam of the infant to establish what birthmarks are present at birth. Mother will
receive four phone call follow ups to determine if the infant has had any skin changes. If
yes, mother will be asked to bring the child in for evaluation. If a hemangioma is
diagnosed, a blood draw will be performed.
