Abstract

Detection of a fetal anomaly leads to considerable psychological distress for the pregnant woman and her partner. The relation between psychological and endocrine reactions to stress is relatively well understood in non-pregnant women. This knowledge is not necessarily transferable to the situation during pregnancy because pregnancy itself causes alterations in the maternal hormone balance. We are studying the relation between psychological and endocrine stress responses in pregnancies following the detection of fetal anomalies by ultrasonography
