Abstract in brief

This study investigated how common glyphosate (GLY), a widely used herbicide, is found in pregnant women in Indiana, and whether it affects pregnancy length or fetal growth.
Most women had detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine, especially those living in rural areas or consuming more caffeine, but none had glyphosate in their drinking water.
Higher urinary glyphosate levels were linked to slightly shorter pregnancies, but there was no clear connection between glyphosate and fetal growth measures like birth weight or head size.]
