Associations between season of conception and maternal and perinatal health: a prospective birth cohort study
We found that conception in spring was associated with an increased risk of GDM, GH, and PROM, while conception in summer was linked to a higher risk of PPH. However, the preliminary nature of our findings suggests that further research is needed to confirm causality and assess the feasibility of any potential interventions.
