Abstract
Findings from a number of studies suggest that there is an association between mothers who had stressful pregnancies and behavioural problems in their children. In the first study conducted in a developing country, PAUL G. RAMCHANDANI, LINDA RICHTER, SHANE NORRIS AND ALAN STEIN set out to examine whether maternal prenatal stress is associated with an increased risk of subsequent child behavioural problems in a developing country.-
