Dutch researchers studied responses from 8,266 pregnant women on a questionnaire about employment and working conditions.
Researchers found that a combination of high job stress and a long work week was linked with the greatest birth weight reduction. They conclude that although pregnant women often reduce their work hours in late pregnancy, they should reduce job stress and hours in the early stages as well.
The study appears in the American Journal of Public Health.
