Getting pregnant in the spring? Take caution

Plan on getting pregnant this Spring? While all those wonderful flowers and lush grounds are starting t blossom, we sometimes indulge in the renewal of ourselves using different ways to start a great new season that begs "new life here".

But be careful, as some researchers from the University of Pittsburgh's Medical Center have concluded that women who conceive in the springtime may be more likely to deliver in a pre-term state.

According to the researchers, "Preterm birth was most common among women who conceived in the springtime and was least common in women who conceived in the summer." Pre-term births occur at about 32 weeks after gestation.
