We talk a lot about what to eat during pregnancy, which vitamins to take, and how to prepare for birth—but what about stress? How much does it really matter? The truth is, stress doesn’t just affect the mother—it shapes the baby’s brain, immune system, and even their emotional well-being.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the science in a way that actually makes sense. How does stress during pregnancy impact a child’s future health? Can it really increase the risk of anxiety, ADHD, or even asthma? And more importantly—what can parents do about it?
The good news? It’s not about eliminating stress completely (because, let’s be real, life doesn’t work like that). It’s about small, practical changes that can make a big difference. Whether you’re expecting, know someone who is, or just love learning about how early experiences shape us, this one’s for you.
Hit play, and let’s get into it.
