Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine how difficult life-events that women experienced during their childhood might affect their babies. Women who are asked to participate in this study will fill out forms about their physical and mental health, have 3D ultrasounds of their baby's adrenal gland, have their stress responses measured and have their baby's development and stress responses assessed.
