This chapter reviews the empirical literature on the impacts of temperature and climate change on human pregnancies … year-to-year fluctuation in temperature. The insights that emerge from the review highlight that exposure to heat in the …, understanding the relationship between temperature and pregnancy-related outcomes is far from perfect. Importantly, the potential …

We analyze the impact of in utero temperature exposure on the birth weight and prevalence of low birth weight using … additional hot day (mean temperature >25°C) during the gestation period reduces birth weight by 0.5 grams. The second and third … trimesters appear to be slightly more sensitive to temperature exposure than the first trimester. We project that climate change …

Research on the effect of in utero shocks on health at birth may be influenced by in utero selection. This study outlines a conceptual framework and shows that the results of the standard empirical approach are biased if (i) the exposure changes the probability of fetal death and (ii) health...
