A new study found that increased use of acetaminophen during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, is associated with language delays in children. The study…
A study of more than 360,000 mothers and infants shows a significant risk of low birth weight and NICU admissions for babies exposed to cannabis…
Researchers have discovered that the hormone GDF15, produced by the fetus, causes pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. The severity is influenced by the mother’s prior exposure…
A study by Boston University researchers has found no increased risk of miscarriage associated with COVID-19 vaccines in individuals planning to conceive. This reassuring evidence…
