Present Your Research and Contribute to the Advancement of High-Risk Obstetric Care!
The SMFM Pregnancy Meeting™ provides a platform for researchers, clinicians, and obstetrics experts to share their latest findings and innovations.
Our Call for Abstracts Submission Portal is open and currently accepting abstracts through August 4 (9:00 pm Eastern Time). Submit an abstract for a chance to present your science in front of 3,000+ professionals and have your work published in the PREGNANCY supplement.
Before accessing the online abstract submission portal, we encourage interested submitters to review the Abstract Submission Brochure. It provides essential information about this year’s process and will help submitters prepare their abstract elements in advance for a smoother submission experience.
The deadline to submit an abstract is Monday, August 4, at 9:00 PM EST.

Call for Abstracts: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we accept industry-supported abstracts. All financial interests, commercial or federal funded research, must be disclosed upon submission.
No, the content of your abstract will not be submitted or presented at an international, national or district meeting and no paper arising from it will be published either in print or electronic format prior to the end of the Pregnancy Meeting. If you intend to submit your work for publication, you must be certain that the date of publication will be after February 13, 2026 (last day of the SMFM meeting). If you are not able to guarantee this, please do not submit the abstract.
While we currently have no prohibition on any study type for submission, our historical data shows that case reports have rarely been accepted for presentation after the review process. Generally, most presentations are comparative in study design, whether observational or interventional.
All abstracts require all the mandatory components designated within our abstract submission portal, and we do not have a specific submission format for case report submissions. However, if your case report is structured to meet the requirements, the portal will allow it to be submitted. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and scored by the criteria specified within this document and, if scored highly, they will be extended an acceptance for presentation at the Pregnancy Meeting.
No, we do not accept panel presentations.
All abstracts undergo a blinded peer-review process. All abstracts are initially reviewed by 4 General Reviewers. Top scoring abstracts from the General Review round are sent to Senior Review, where they are reviewed by an additional 4 Senior Reviewers. The scores and recommendations are then reviewed and final selections made by the Program Committee.
No, presenters are expected to pay the registration fee for the Pregnancy Meeting and attend the meeting in person in Las Vegas, NV.
Abstracts can be edited until the abstract submission deadline of Monday, August 4, 2025 (9:00 pm ET). Please ensure that your title, authors, institution and abstract text are accurate prior to submitting. After the submission deadline passes, abstracts cannot be edited further and requests to edit accepted abstracts will not be accepted. Abstracts are blindly peer reviewed and scored based upon the content (objective, study design, results, and conclusion) provided. Thus, to maintain the integrity of the submission and review processes, SMFM does not accept requests for abstract changes after submission. Please be sure to spellcheck your work before submitting.
Should this abstract be accepted for presentation, you agree to its publication and hereby assign its copyright to SMFM. The abstract will be published in the abstract supplement. The publication of the full paper is not guaranteed and would require your submission of a completed paper for full peer review evaluation prior to acceptance. At a later date, additional information regarding the manuscript submission step will be provided.
