“…In addition, we found some significant differences among the clinical groups in parenting stress. Our finding seem to be consistent with other research which found that the mothers of the ADHD and ASD groups reported elevated levels of parenting stress (Baker et al, 2005;Harrison and Sofronoff, 2002;Walker et al, 1999). However, our study shows high levels of parental stress also in mothers of children with SpLD or LD.…”

“…Women experiencing increases in depressive symptoms during pregnancy have been found to seek less prenatal care (Miller, 1992), gain less weight (Walker, Cooney, & Riggs, 1999), use more drugs and alcohol, smoke more cigarettes, and feel more stressed (Zuckerman, Amaro, Bauchner, & Cabral, 1989) than mothers experiencing little to no depression during pregnancy. Increased substance use and stress has been found to increase risk for premature birth and low birth weight (Orr & Miller, 1995;Singer et al, 1999).…”

: Statistically, women, particularly pregnant women and new mothers, are at heightened risk for depression. The present review describes the current state of the research linking maternal depressed mood and children's cognitive and language development. Exposure to maternal depressive symptoms, whether during the prenatal period, postpartum period, or chronically, has been found to increase children's risk for later cognitive and language difficulties. The present review considers both the timing of maternal depression and the chronicity of mothers' depression on children's risk for cognitive and language delays. Infancy is frequently identified as a sensitive period in which environmental stimulation has the potential to substantially influence children's cognitive and language development. However, children's exposure to chronic maternal depression seems to be associated with more problematic outcomes for children, perhaps because depression interferes with mothers' ability to respond sensitively and consistently over time. Consistent with this expectation, interventions targeting parenting practices of depressed mothers have been found to increase children's cognitive competence during early childhood. The current review provides a synthesis of the current state of the field regarding the association between maternal depression and children's cognitive and language development during early childhood.

“…This approach will provide the conceptual basis to implement exercise interventions with pregnant women specific to the physical and psychological demands of each trimester. The existing exercise interventions during pregnancy and postpartum are not theoretically developed (Leermakers, Anglin, & Wing, 1998;Polley et al, 2002;Walker, Cooney, & Riggs, 1999). The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is one of the most comprehensive and validated theories for explaining and predicting exercise behavior (Ajzen, 1991).…”

Pregnancy and postpartum are determinants of sedentary and low active lifestyles. Before effective physical activity interventions are implemented within this population, it is necessary to prospectively examine, during each trimester, their exercise determinants and behaviors within a theoretical framework. The purposes of this study were to: (a) prospectively examine women's third trimester exercise intention and behavior using the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and (b) examine group differences across the TPB constructs, body mass index (BMI), and birth outcomes for women exercising and not exercising during their third trimester. Participants were 62 pregnant women who completed self-report measures during their third trimester and 6-weeks postpartum. We found that: (a) intention predicted exercise behavior; (b) subjective norm predicted exercise intention; and (c) women exercising during their third trimester had significantly lower postpartum BMI and significantly heavier and longer babies than women not exercising during their third trimester. Our findings support the TPB for understanding women's exercise intention and behavior during their third trimester of pregnancy.
