A member asked:
I have anxiety disorder and pregnant and i am now 38 wks, but my entire pregnancy baby has been hyperactive inside me. why anf should i be concerned?

Possibly. Significant : chronic prenatal anxiety exposes a fetus to excess glucocorticoids, which may cause enduring neuroendocrine changes.The effects on stress-related behavior, emotions, and cognitive abilities in offspring from infancy through adulthood are well-documented, as are the increased risks of premature labor, low birthweight & low Apgar scores. Ask your OB to refer you to a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist.
