Climate change has been linked to many health issues including lungs, brain and even hearts. Now, a new study has shown that rising temperatures can have a serious effect on maternal health and also affect the results of birth.

In fact, according to analysis by Climate Central, an independent group of scientists who research and report on climate change found that excessive heat can be dangerous for pregnant women in more than 247 countries.

Scientists examined the daily temperature from 2020 to 2024 to count the number of heat-risk days of pregnancy.

They found that the heat-risk days of pregnancy give birth to infants born prematurely.

The heat of pregnancy is the days of risk when the temperature is usually seen 95% of the time in the area.

During the last five years, climate change has doubled the minimum average annual number of average annual numbers in the average annual number of days that is dangerous for pregnant people in about 90% of countries and regions and 63% cities in terms and 63% cities.

This is the first analysis that directly explains how climate change for pregnant women is increasing dangerously on hot days.

“Every country experienced an increase in the heat of pregnancy due to climate change, mainly due to burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas due to climate change.

In most countries and regions (222 out of 247), climate change has doubled the annual number of heat-risk days of pregnancy during the last five years, in all continents, in the last five years.

In approximately one-third of countries and regions (78 out of 247), climate change added at least one additional month of pregnancy to the heat of pregnancy each year from 2020 to 2024.

For some countries and cities, all pregnancy experienced in the last five years were due to climate change on heat-risk.

In other words, in the world without climate change, these places would not have seen temperatures above the 95th temperature percentage during the last five years.

High temperatures added the highest number of pregnancy heat-risk days in developing countries, which often have limited access to healthcare including Caribbean, Central and South America, Pacific Islands, South East Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa.

These areas are the weakest for the effects of global warming, despite contributing to the least greenhouse gas emissions.

VP for Science at Climate Central. Christina Dahl said that even a day of excessive heat may increase the risk of severe pregnancy complications.

Research has increased high temperatures during pregnancy high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, hospitalization, severe maternal illness, stilging and preterm births such as complications, which can have a lifelong health effects for children.

A female health doctor Bruce Bakekar said, “Extreme heat is now one of the most pressure hazards for pregnant people worldwide, furthering more pregnancies in high -risk sectors, especially at places struggling with already limited healthcare access,” a female health doctor, who reviewed the analysis.

Dr. Bakekar stated that the cut in fossil fuel emissions is not only good for the planet, it is an important step towards protecting pregnant people and newborns worldwide.
