“…However, despite the heterogeneity in concepts and assessment methods used, the meta-analyses consistently revealed that prenatal psychological stress, and both stress exposure and perceived stress, are associated with adverse respiratory health outcomes in the child. This is in line with other studies regarding the negative impact of prenatal maternal stress on adverse health outcomes in the child [15,16,[49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

The aim of this study was to systematically review and meta-analyse observational studies on prenatal maternal psychological stress and the subsequent development of asthma and wheezing in early childhood.All available published literature from 1960 until November 2013 was systematically searched through electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo and Web of Science). All observational studies assessing associations between any form of prenatal maternal psychological stress and respiratory morbidity in the child were included. Data extraction, quality assessment and meta-analyses were performed.The overall meta-analysis included 10 studies and showed that the prevalence of wheezing, asthma and other respiratory symptoms is higher in children of mothers who were exposed to or experienced some form of psychological stress during pregnancy than in mothers who did not ( pooled OR 1.56 (95% CI 1.36-1.80)). Comparable results were observed in subgroup analyses of stress exposure, perceived stress, asthma and wheezing.This study demonstrates that prenatal maternal psychological stress is associated with respiratory morbidity, including asthma and wheezing in the child. Future studies examining the early origins of asthma and wheezing need to account for the impact of prenatal maternal stress. @ERSpublications Study showing an association between prenatal psychological stress and subsequent respiratory morbidity in children

“…feminization of masculine behaviour). 3 -5 In humans, Huizink et al 6 reported that, if maternal stress and anxiety are profound in the first trimester, this might be associated with low psychomotor score on the Bayley Development Test, poor adaptation to new environments, and more problematic behaviour when the infants are 8 months old. A further paper reported that the children of women who were highly anxious during pregnancy were more likely to be I Makino, Y Matsuda, M Yoneyama et al Effect of maternal stress on fetal heart rate hyperactive, more likely to show attention deficit, and more likely to exhibit difficult behaviour and aggression compared with children from low anxiety (control) mothers.…”

This study was designed to determine whether maternal stress levels, state and trait anxiety levels, and stress hormones affect fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns after vibroacoustic stimulation (VAS) at 30 weeks of gestation. A total of 24 healthy pregnant women with a single fetus pregnancy were enrolled. Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone in maternal plasma and cortisol, and chromogranin A in saliva were measured. The FHR patterns after VAS were divided into three types: type I, a long period of acceleration or one acceleration lasting > 1 min or at least two accelerations lasting > 15 s; type II, a biphasic response with acceleration followed by deceleration; and type III, no response or prolonged deceleration. In the high trait anxiety group, CRH levels were significantly higher than in the low trait anxiety group, and FHR patterns after VAS showed mostly a type II response pattern. These findings suggest that stress in pregnant women with high trait anxiety may influence FHR patterns after VAS.

“…It is more complicated than saying, "prenatal stress is bad", as the effects are specific to the type of maternal stress (e.g., DiPietro et al, 2006), the area of child development (e.g., Cao, Laplante, Brunet, Ciampi, & King, 2014), the age at which the effect is measured (e.g., Huizink et al, 2002b), and the timing of stress exposure during gestation (e.g., Laplante, Zelazo, Brunet, & King, 2007). In addition, some effects are positive or curvilinear, rather than negative (e.g., DiPietro et al, 2006;Keim et al, 2011).…”

Studies using these types of stress have several advantages, including a plethora of standardised and widely-used screening measures and a relatively high incidence in the population (Kingston, Tough, & Whitfield, 2012;Lobel, 1994).…”

“…These findings have implications for the design of prenatal stress research, and for guiding interventions with pregnant mothers in the wake of natural disasters. PREFACE A large body of research has established that prenatal maternal stress predicts child development across a range of areas, with effects evident in early infancy and persisting into early adulthood (Bergman, Sarkar, O'Connor, Modi, & Glover, 2007;Dancause et al, 2011;DiPietro, Novak, Costigan, Atella, & Reusing, 2006;Gutteling et al, 2005;Huizink, De Medina, Mulder, Visser, & Buitelaar, 2002b;King, Dancause, Turcotte-Tremblay, Veru, & Laplante, 2012;O'Connor et al, 2003;Slykerman et al, 2005;Tearne et al, 2014;Yehuda et al, 2005). The effects of prenatal maternal stress seem robust, having been established by animal studies and replicated in human samples across different countries with a wide range of methodologies and outcome measures (Bowers & Yehuda, 2016;Glover, 2014b;O'Connor, Monk, & Fitelson, 2014).…”

Understanding the relationship between disaster-related prenatal maternal stress and child motor development: The QF2011 Queensland Flood Study

This thesis investigates the relationship between different aspects of disasterrelated prenatal maternal stress and child motor development, explores how stress reactions work together to predict motor development, and proposes a cascade of stress reactions as a psychological mechanism of transmission for the effects of prenatal maternal stress. It examines continuity and change in findings between 16 and 30 months and, finally, looks at whether maternal coping predicts child motor development.At recruitment, mothers (N = 224) exposed to a major flood during pregnancy completed questionnaires assessing flood exposure (QFOSS), peritraumatic distress (PDI) and dissociation (PDEQ), posttraumatic stress (IESR), a cognitive appraisal of the overall flood consequences, and coping (BriefCOPE). At 16 months (N = 145) and 30
