Humans and others exposed to prenatal stress have high stress levels after birth

Humans and others exposed to prenatal stress have high stress levels after birth Vertebrate species, including humans, exposed to stress prenatally tend to have higher stress hormones after birth, according to a new study. While previous research has reported examples of maternal stress experience predicting offspring stress hormones in different species, this study is the first to empirically demonstrate the impact of prenatal stress on offspring stress hormone levels using data from all known studies across vertebrates. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
