I don't know of any research specifically on room temperature but there's good advice on overheating on this page: nhs.uk/chq/pages/2402.aspx?...
There's some evidence that higher ambient temperatures (ie weather, not room temperature) are associated with an increased risk of pre-term births and stillbirth. Have a look at these links:
sciencedaily.com/releases/2...
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/216...
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/208...
However, the risks are still very small and it's not clear whether it's the temperature itself or something associated with higher temperatures that's the real cause.
It makes sense, for your own comfort if nothing else, to avoid getting overheated but personally I wouldn't panic if the room was a bit warm.
