Article Synopsis
- Climate change is expected to increase extreme weather events like heat waves, which may negatively impact fetal growth and birth outcomes.
- A study involving 3,359 term newborns in Paris found that mothers exposed to a heat wave had a higher likelihood of having small for gestational age (SGA) babies, especially if exposed during the first trimester.
- The findings indicate that temperature and air pollution contribute significantly to the negative effects of heat waves on fetal development.
