Drawing on the latest research, it explores how stress-related biomarkers like cortisol can cross the placenta, influencing the child's health from birth through adulthood--and even across generations.\u003cbr\u003eWritten by leading experts, the 15 chapters examine the biological and psychological mechanisms involved, including the HPA axis and brain-gut axis. Topics include the impact of stress on pregnancy outcomes (e.g., pre-eclampsia, prematurity, low birth weight), neonatal health (e.g., colic, altered gut microbiota), and long-term risks such as autism, ADHD, and cardiovascular disease.\u003cbr\u003eThe book also addresses key stressors--such as intimate partner violence, war, and economic hardship--with a focus on pregnancy-specific stress as particularly harmful.\u003cbr\u003eEssential reading for clinicians, researchers, and students in maternal and neonatal health, this volume also serves as a valuable resource for policymakers and healthcare stakeholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafael A.
