Being pregnant with a boy is riskier than being pregnant with a girl, study shows

Beskrivelse

A study from Aalborg University in Denmark reveals that women who have a son as their first child are more likely to experience secondary infertility. "Women who give birth to a boy first, have a higher risk of miscarriage with any subsequent pregnancies compared to women who gave birth to a girl first," says Ole B. Christiansen, senior physician and professor at Aalborg University. The study also suggests that pregnancies with boys are linked to higher risks of complications such as preeclampsia and premature birth. (Summary provided by Infomedia)
