Stress commonly associated with today’s daily life has quite varied effect on pregnant females. Stress also affects general well-being of an individual but in pregnancy it is affecting two lives: the womb bearer and the one residing inside it. There is a steady rise in complications due to stress in pregnancies leading to increased rate of abortions, pre-term deliveries, PIH, GDM and IUGR in fetus. It also influences the neural development of the fetus causing adverse effects in later life.
