Studies have demonstrated that high temperatures can have an adverse effect on a developing child's neurological system, causing the infant to be born before its due date and causing additional issues.


Prolonged exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy can also alter the DNA of the foetus.

For their study, the researchers claim to have analysed 29 investigations that were carried out throughout the previous century.
