Highlights: • This study was a prospective cohort study with a large sample size. • We evaluated the associations between throughout pregnancy phthalate exposure and placental size and shape. • We assessed the urinary concentrations of seven phthalate metabolites among 2725 pregnant women. • Prenatal phthalate exposure appeared to effect boy's placental growth. There is concern over the potential placental effects of prenatal phthalate exposure, and the potential adverse effects of prenatal phthalate exposure require further study; however, few data are available in humans. We investigated the associations between phthalate exposure in each trimester and both placental size and shape at birth.
