"應該在冬天受孕嗎？"

一項新的深入性研究歷時四年追蹤超過十萬名婦女，論述女性的體溫與死胎風險之間的關聯性。當婦女的體溫上升至過高，特別是懷孕前四週，會提高死胎的機率。雖然起初看似該研究結果建議冬天受孕較好以及夏天懷胎會比較危險，但這項發現的主要重點是懷孕婦女需要注意身體的核心溫度。

對話範例：

(懷孕和溫度)Diane是病人，Mario則是她的醫生。Diane懷孕了，他們正在討論懷孕的風險。來聽聽看他們的對話吧。

Diane:我聽說冬天受孕然後夏天生孩子會比較好。是真的嗎？

Mario: 也不盡然如此。如果懷孕時體溫上升到太高，可能會對胎兒有害。

Diane: 但是夏天天氣會變熱，所以那個說法不就是對的嗎？

Mario: 這不盡然是指夏天懷孕會危險，但是你需要注意自身的體溫。

Diane: 我知道了。但是為什麼會這樣子呢？冬天的時候我們不是想要保暖嗎？

Mario: 是的，你們會想要。但是我們也在進化，以前之所以會說夏天生產會比較好，是因為新生兒在寒冬存活是很困難的。但是現在有冷氣和暖氣，所以這不是個大問題。

Diane: 喔，我懂了。所以這是生物學上的論述。那麼我該怎麼做才能確保我的體溫是在安全的範圍內呢？

Mario: 避開高溫泡澡或淋浴，但是也不能太冷。如果你覺得不舒服，你應該要到不同的環境。

(Health) Should You Get Pregnant in the Winter

A new, intensive study tracked over 100,000 women over the course of four years, and covered the connection between a woman's body temperature and the risk of a stillborn baby.When a woman's body temperature rises too high, especially during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, the chances of a stillborn baby increased.While initially, it seems like the study recommends getting pregnant during the wintertime, and that pregnancy in the summer is more dangerous, the main point of the findings is that women who are pregnant need to be aware of their body's core temperature.

Dialogue Example:

(Pregnancy and Temperature)Diane is a patient and Mario is her doctor. Diane is pregnant and they are discussing the risks of pregnancy. Let's listen to their conversation.

Diane: I heard that it's better to get pregnant in winter and have the baby in summer. Is this true

Mario: Well, not exactly. If your temperature rises too high when you are pregnant, it could cause problems for the baby.

Diane: But it gets hot in the summer, so wouldn't that be accurate

Mario: It doesn't necessarily mean that it's dangerous to be pregnant in summer, but you need to be aware of your body temperature.

Diane: I see. But why is that? Don't we want to be warm in the wintertime

Mario: Yes, you do. See, as we evolved, it was better to have children in summer, because it's very difficult for newborns to survive the cold winter. But we have air conditioning and heating now, so it's not such a big problem.

Diane: Oh, I get it. So, it's a biological thing. What should I do, then, to make sure my body temperature stays at a safe level

Mario: Avoid really hot baths and showers, but don't get too cold, either. If you feel uncomfortable, you should get in a different environment.
