The following is an excerpt I picked off of the Reuters news wire this afternoon.

BERLIN (Reuters Health) - New research has reinforced the theory that even less-severe infections during pregnancy can increase the risk that an infant will be born early and at a low birth weight.
Preliminary results from a study in Vienna, Austria are so convincing, the author says, that if final figures back them up the results should lead to a new screening program for all pregnant women.
Professor Herbert Kiss of the University of Vienna investigated the relationship between a variety of vaginal infections, known as common genital tract infections, during pregnancy and underweight birth. The findings are published in the journal Geburtsh Frauenheilk.
Initial results show a significant effect, he said, telling Reuters Health, "If these end results support what the initial results point to, I would recommend a screening and treatment program for all pregnant women. It is very simple and cost-effective, costing less than an ultrasound."
He and his team screened more than 4,000 women between their 16th and 20th month of pregnancy for vaginal bacterial and yeast infections.
It seems to me that Austrian women carry their babies a little longer than American women.
