Low consumption of seafood in early pregnancy as a risk factor for preterm delivery: prospective cohort study

Journal ArticleDOI
Do stressful life events affect duration of gestation and risk of preterm delivery
TL;DR: Women who had one or more highly stressful life events had a risk of preterm delivery 1.76 times greater than those without stressful events (95% confidence interval = 1.15‐2.71) and there was no evidence for a buffering effect of social support.
