Women who experience stress during pregnancy could be more likely to have children with personality disorders, according to new research.

In the first study of its kind, researchers looked at the link between personality disorders and stress in pregnancy and found children were at risk if their mothers experienced any level of stress while pregnant.

Children had more than three times the risk of developing a personality disorder by the age of 30 if their mother experienced stress, compared with children whose mothers had no stress.

Children whose mothers had severe stress were 10 times more likely to have a disorder.

Well, my mother's mother died while my mother was pregnant with me, so there's my new excuse ...

Not sure I agree. Children are like sponges, if you give them all the good stuff when they’re young, like good love, food, lessons, examples, security etc, they’ll turn out just fine.

What I’m saying, to be clear, is that it can be undone if it’s true.

It does seem to me that whatever hormonal stew you find yourself in while in the womb is going to have an effect on how you turn out.

There is plenty of logic behind this. As we already know of other effects to babies whilst in the womb.

This has been study with the levels of testosterone a baby is exposed to in the womb. Which i would have liked the study to have also factored this in to see also if this had any effects. Clearly there is a basic form of correlation here, which requires further study to understand why.
