Short heat spells in pregnancy raise newborn risks

A new study found that if it gets really hot for just a few days while a woman is pregnant, her baby might be born too early or not weigh enough.

This is a big problem in places like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana where it gets very hot in the summer.

The study looked at over 200,000 babies born between 2015 and 2020.

Researchers found that women who don't have much education or money are at higher risk.

They say we need to make special plans to help pregnant women stay cool during hot weather.
