Pregnant women have an increased risk of trauma during summertime, even though most don't drink alcohol, speed while driving or behave recklessly, a Canadian study has found.

The increase is higher than that for the general population, in which traumatic injury rates rise by about nine per cent in May to October over those from November to April. Tue, 21 Jun 2005 11:09:20 -0400 http://dev.storkavenue.com/news/Names_Classroom.html
