Summary

This study looks at how stress (both psychological and biological) during pregnancy might affect newborns in families who used IVF or egg donation. Researchers will track 100 couples through pregnancy and at birth, measuring stress hormones and asking about anxiety and mood. The goal is to understand if stress impacts baby health, independent of genetics.
