Weekday delivery is no better than night or weekend delivery for infants with birth defects, according to a new study presented today at The Pregnancy Meeting, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's annual conference. The finding is good news for all parties moms, babies and healthcare teams and suggests that this high-risk population of women should deliver when their bodies are ready to deliver, regardless of the day or time.
