In the two studies listed high stress in pregnant mothers was linked to lower IQ, evidence of higher levels of anxiety and depression, as well as higher incidences of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in their children after birth. Stress that pregnant mothers experienced was often a result of a problematic/unassertive relationship with their partner.
