Employment during pregnancy in relation to risk factors and pregnancy outcome.
To describe the relation of employment status during pregnancy to potential demographic, behavioural and obstetrical risk factors for adverse late pregnancy outcome, as well as the risks of having a preterm delivery and a small for gestational age infant. ⋯ Comparison of pregnancy outcome among women with different work status should consider the differences in risk factor profile. Adjusting for such risk factors, we found no evidence that work per se had any detrimental or beneficial effects on the risk of having a small for gestational age infant or preterm delivery.
