New Insights into Prenatal Stress: Immediate- and Long-Term Effects on the Fetus and Their Timing

O’Donnell, K.J.; Reissland, N.; Glover, V.

Abstract

A burgeoning literature emphasizes the importance of the in utero environment for a range of fetal, neonatal, infant and adult health-related outcomes [1]. This period of prenatal development, characterized by rapid growth and development, is a time of increased vulnerability, when intrauterine insults can have deleterious effects on emerging systems and structures. One important factor which affects the in utero environment is maternal stress.
