Could a baby be born in space? Scientist explains the possibility and risks of space birth

Microgravity impacts fetal development and poses logistical difficulties for childbirth, while cosmic radiation threatens DNA and increases the risk of miscarriage and developmental abnormalities. Protecting against radiation and understanding the effects of weightlessness on fetal and infant development are crucial before attempting space pregnancy.
