Medical Conditions - Pesticide Exposure In Pregnancy

Pesticide exposure during pregnancy can harm both the mother and the developing fetus. Pesticides are chemicals that kill or control pests, such as insects, rodents, and weeds. Exposure to pesticides during pregnancy has been linked to various health effects, including congenital disabilities, low birth weight, preterm birth, and developmental delays. Pregnant women need to take precautions to avoid exposure to pesticides, such as wearing protective clothing, using safe pest control methods, and avoiding areas where pesticides have been recently applied.
