According to the authors, prior studies have found “severe life events during pregnancy are consistently associated with an elevated risk of low birth weight and prematurity.” However, the new finding runs counter to existing opinion that a mother’s psychological state does not influence her unborn baby’s mental health risk.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/02/05/early-term-stress-may-up-risk-of-offspring-psychosis/1877.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/psychcentral.com/img/30A5A14F-1075-4900-AD84-97164E37AD9A" alt="baby" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/02/05/early-term-stress-may-up-risk-of-offspring-psychosis/1877.html"><P>Schizophrenia, a disabling condition associated with abnormal brain structure and function, is increasingly believed to begin in early brain development.
