Fetal Body Composition and Organ Volume Trajectories in Association With Maternal Perceived Stress or Depressive Symptoms in the Fetal <scp>3D</scp> Study
Greater maternal perceived stress and depressive symptoms early in pregnancy were associated with up to an 8.0 cm<sup>3</sup> difference in fetal limb adiposity and organ volume growth. While health implications are unclear, our findings support current clinical practice guidelines for prenatal mental health screening.
