Purpose: The current study investigated the direct impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on fetal movements, addressing a critical research gap. While previous research has predominantly examined the effects of lockdown on maternal health and postnatal out...

Journal Article

Research indicates a higher prevalence of attention deficits in children exposed to HG in utero compared to controls with some claiming that the deficit is due to prenatal effects of malnutrition in HG mothers and others that it is due to maternal me...

Effects of maternal mental health on prenatal movement profiles in twins and singletons (2021)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Einbeck, J., Wood, R., & Lane, A. (2021). Effects of maternal mental health on prenatal movement profiles in twins and singletons. Acta Paediatrica: Nurturing the Child, 110(9), 2553-2558. https://doi.org/10.1111/apa.15903

Aim: Prenatal experiences, including maternal stress, depression and anxiety, form crucial building blocks affecting the maturation of the fetal central nervous system. Previous research has examined fetal movements without considering effects of mat... Read More about Effects of maternal mental health on prenatal movement profiles in twins and singletons.

Effects of maternal mental health on fetal visual preference for face-like compared to non-face like light stimulation (2020)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Wood, R., Einbeck, J., & Lane, A. (2020). Effects of maternal mental health on fetal visual preference for face-like compared to non-face like light stimulation. Early Human Development, 151, Article 105227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2020.105227

The question of whether humans react differentially to face-like versus non face-like light stimulation in the prenatal period has been much discussed, but to date has remained unresolved. In this feasibility study we have come closer to understandin...

Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile (2020)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Millard, A., Wood, R., Ustun, B., McFaul, C., Froggatt, S., & Einbeck, J. (2020). Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile. Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 302(1), 65-75. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00404-020-05571-w

Purpose: Prenatal sub-optimal nutrition and exposure to maternal stress, anxiety and depression in pregnancy have been linked to increased postnatal morbidity and mortality. Fetal growth is most vulnerable to maternal dietary deficiencies, such as th... Read More about Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile.

Testing fetal abilities: A commentary on studies testing prenatal reactions to light stimulation
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Wood, R., Einbeck, J., & Lane, A. Testing fetal abilities: A commentary on studies testing prenatal reactions to light stimulation. iScience, https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3569540

In utero conditions on fetal neurodevelopment are of current concern. One aspect relates to the question of the effects of maternal mental health and maturity of the fetus on prenatal neurodevelopment. In this feasibility study, we examined the as ye...
