Abstract

- The aim of this study was to investigate if fetal circulation is affected by maternal anxiety. 37 nulliparous women were studied prospectively in the third trimester of pregnancy, with self-rate tests of anxiety (STAI). Doppler ultrasound examination of the umbilical artery and fetal middle cerebral artery was performed at 37-40 gestational weeks. The pulsatility index (PI) was calculated and corrected for heart rate. The women were divided into groups of increasing levels of anxiety. The fetuses of women with high trait anxiety scores had significantly higher PI values in the umbilical artery (p = 0.0056), significantly lower PI values in the fetal middle cerebral artery (p = 0.0029) and significantly lower cerebro-umbilical PI ratios (p = 0.0002), suggesting a change in blood distribution in favor of brain circulation in the fetuses. Maternal weight, weight-increase, height, age, marital status, smoking habits, drinking habits and socio-economic factors known to affect fetal well-being did not interfere with these findings. No significant differences in birth-weight, length and head circumference were found between infants born to mothers with higher trait anxiety levels compared to mothers with lower trait anxiety levels. Our results suggest that maternal stress, in terms of trait anxiety, influences fetal cerebral circulation.
