• Antenatal maternal anxiety and stress and the neurobehavioural development of the fetus and child: links and possible mechanisms. A review. (2005, background): “As the perception of anxiety in pre- and post-natal periods are significantly correlated [15,72,74], associations found between antenatal anxiety/stress and child’s outcome can be spurious.”
• Antenatal maternal stress and long-term effects on child neurodevelopment: how and why? (2007, background): “…for an antenatal effect of psychological stress comes from those studies in which the association between prenatal stress and child outcomes remains even after controlling for maternal postnatal anxiety or depression (O’Connor et al., 2002; Van den Bergh & Marcoen, 2004; Brouwers et al., 2001).”
