A recent study (1) has found that women with high antioxidant levels in their blood seem less likely to give birth prematurely. The [...] There seems to be a run of research being released at the moment looking at pregnancy and fertility related issues, as you can see from my recent blog posts. In a recent review paper (1) researchers have estimated that 1.5million fewer babies would be born at low birth weights every year if all pregnant [...] |
