TL;DR
Findings strengthen previous research that suggests that fetal programming can be important for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric outcomes and imply that prenatal stress due to relationship strain may warrant particular attention.
Abstract
These findings strengthen previous research that suggests that fetal programming can be important for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric outcomes. They imply that the mechanisms by which mental development and fearfulness are affected are different and that prenatal stress due to relationship strain may warrant particular attention.
