Pregnant women with a history of child abuse or neglect experienced increased inflammation when exposed to mild stress compared with women without those experiences, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. Increased inflammation, in turn, was associated with a greater number of complications during pregnancy and birth, including premature birth, according to the research team.
