Stress During Pregnancy can Affect Unborn Baby

Permanent emotional scars and mental health problems could be the lot of children born to pregnant mothers who have been victims of domestic abuse during their pregnancy. The stress was not related to normal work stressors or the pressures of running a family but the type of stress associated with domestic abuse.

Such children are emotionally weak and are unable to cope with stressful situations later on in their life.

The ability to handle stress can get affected in children whose mothers were exposed to undue stress during their pregnancy and such children become over sensitive to stress.
