The risk could be as high as 16 percent for women conceiving in winter. Apparently, the risk peaks in winter after progressing through autumn to early spring.

The researchers looked at the birth records of over seven million children who were born in California in the 1990s and early 2000s. These birth records comprised about 91 percent of all the births in California between January 1990 and December 2002.
