First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at how a mother's stress during pregnancy might influence her baby's brain and behavior. By comparing IVF pregnancies where the baby shares genes with the mom versus those where they don't (using donor eggs), researchers hope to separate the effects of the prenatal environment from shared genetics. About 360 pregnant women will answer questionnaires, give blood samples, and allow monitoring of the baby's heart rate and brain activity after birth.
