Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if there are differences in negative neonatal outcomes (like preterm birth and low birth weight) for babies born to LGB+ parents compared to completely heterosexual parents.
- Researchers analyzed long-term data from the Nurses' Health Study II, focusing on mothers who reported their sexual orientation and live births from 2001 and 2009, totaling 70,642 participants.
- Findings indicated that all LGB+ groups had a higher risk of preterm births and low birth weight compared to heterosexual parents, particularly those who identified as heterosexual but had past same-sex attractions; however, the risk was not statistically significant for lesbian or gay and bisexual participants.
