New heat in pregnancy study
LRF OCEHL is excited to be involved in a 5 year project investigating the impact of extreme heat exposure on pregnancy and lactation in women across India.
HiP-India is a Welcome funded project led by Professor Jane Hirst, Imperial College London, aims to describe the impact of extreme heat exposure and physiological responses in women across India.
LRF OCEHL will be looking into the effects of extreme heat exposure around birth and whether this will delay lactation onset, affect milk composition and decrease serum prolactin.
