Your mind produces cordisol.. Which then travels to the baby and causes him or her to come out more vulnerable to being anxious or scared.. Children with high levels of cordisol also have stunted growth, smaller brain measurements, and are more susceptible to illnesses.. we just had a discussion on this in my child development class last night.

Reality check! Pregnancy is an incredibly stressful time in a person's life! I don't know a pregnant woman (or any woman!) that hasn't been stressed at one time or another. If you are having anxiety issues, you should speak to your doctor about what you can do to aleviate some of the potential side affects of that. And the word is 'cortisol'.

Wow im sorry if im sick right now and spelled something wrong.. But thats amazing that you know more then scientist and researchers. I'm talking about extremely stressful conditions .i.e. abuse, severe depression. I am obviously not talking about the kind of stress over what kind of crib to get. She asked what it potentially could do to her baby and i answered accordingly.
