Fetuses experience stress earlier than thought
Stress in a pregnant woman may be experienced by her unborn fetus as early as 17 weeks into gestation, researchers say. Researchers have long suspected that maternal stress can damage a developing fetus, when stress hormones such as cortisol cross the placenta. Now scientists have new evidence that the unborn child’s exposure to cortisol following maternal stress is evident earlier in gestation than previously believed.
