Impacts on Development in the Utero
Impacting development in utero means that many factors come
into play. These factors include environmental, nutritional, and
mother health issues while pregnant, which can all influence
the growth and development of the fetus while inside the
womb.
These factors can potentially affect the fetus's physical and
neurological development with potential long-term
consequences after birth; essentially, anything that can affect the
baby’s development during birth (National Institute of Health,
2013).
Maternal stress and the Impacts it has on
Physical, cognitive, Social, and Emotional
Development
Maternal stress represents the effects of any factor that can
threaten an organism's homeostasis. Because of a link in blood
supply between mother and fetus, it has been found that stress
can leave long-lasting effects on a developing fetus (Lumen,
2024). Maternal stress is responsible for a variety of changes
of the child’s brain and a risk factor for conditions like
behavioral
