If you’re trying to conceive, here is some new research you may want to discuss with your doctor: A study at the University of Pittsburgh found that women who conceive in summer have the lowest rate of preterm births (less than 37 weeks gestation), with the rates increasing steadily through fall, winter, and spring.
Those conceiving in summer or fall also had a 25 percent reduction in births prior to 32 weeks gestation vs. those who conceived in winter or spring.
