What happens during the disease - maternal care for other (suspected) fetal abnormality and damage
Maternal care for other (suspected) fetal abnormality and damage is a condition in which the mother’s body reacts to a perceived threat to the fetus, such as a suspected birth defect or injury. this can lead to an increase in maternal stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can have a negative impact on the developing fetus, leading to a decrease in fetal growth and an increased risk of preterm birth. additionally, maternal stress can lead to an increase in the production of inflammatory cytokines, which can further contribute to fetal damage.
