Abstract
Early life stress (ELS) contributes to programming of dysregulated physiologic stress response persisting into adulthood, but has not been assessed in pregnancy. Our study found high ELS women had heightened inflammatory response to acute stress during pregnancy. This is a novel finding with potential implications for spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB).
