Unplanned pregnancy may delay baby's development

Unplanned pregnancy may delay baby's development

According to a study published in the British Medical Journal , children born from unplanned pregnancies are more likely to have limited vocabulary and poorer verbal skills than those generated by planned pregnancy. The research was led by British scholars from institutions such as the University of London.

Data from approximately 12,000 children of the Millennium Cohort Study were analyzed, extensive research on children born between 2000 and 2002 and their families. The parents who participated were interviewed when their children were nine months old and later when they were three and five years old. The results showed that children born after an unplanned pregnancy were four to five months late in their verbal capacity compared to those who did not. have had their conception programmed. The study also found that those born after assisted reproduction were about three to four months earlier than those scheduled for pregnancy.

According to the researchers, one of the causes of this disparity is explained by socioeconomic factors, because they directly influence the quality of life of children.
