New research led by the University of South Australia shows that a blanket approach to prescribing medication during pregnancy may put low birth weight babies at risk for the rest of their lives.

UniSA and New Zealand fetal physiologists say that smaller fetuses metabolise medication taken by the mother in a less efficient way than normal weight babies, which may lead to long term health consequences.
