Abstract
We examined associations of maternal stressors (adverse childhood experiences (ACE), adulthood traumatic events, interpersonal violence during pregnancy, neighborhood crime/deprivation) with levels/rise of placental Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (pCRH) across pregnancy in 1348 women. ACEs predicted third trimester pCRH levels and magnitude of rise, risk factors for maternal and child psychiatric outcomes.
