"Some women do become quite stressed, but also it can also be caused by their environment, the fact also that they are single mothers, the fact that they are career women and they have to balance a career with being pregnant. They, the career women quite often have a very demanding job and it's very difficult to compromise both."

"We do tend to tell women when they attend their first booking appointment and we also inform the women when they actually complain that they don't feel right and they think there might be a problem and obviously, at the point, we need to discuss various options with the women and in some cases it is possible that that woman needs to have a one to one midwife, who sees her constantly throughout the pregnancy and she has that one midwife to relate to."

"your hormones are trying to get you to nest and create this lovely home environment, so I have seen people very stressed and anxious by trying to move and decorate and get ready, all whilst working full time. I mean, that's the other thing, I mean financially a lot of women work right up to the last moment these days in order to get the longer maternity leave afterwards, so they're working very long hours at the same time. I think it's really hard on women and I've been very lucky in my situation, in not having to deal with that."

"The foetus is normally protected from the mother's stress hormones, particularly cortisol, by the placenta. The placenta acts as a barrier. And in the placenta there is an enzyme called (11B-2HSD)2, which breaks down cortisol so that the foetus is protected. But under conditions of stress, in animals, it's been shown the level of this enzyme is reduced, so this allows more cortisol to pass from the mother to the foetus. And we don't yet know if that happens in humans, but we're actively studying it that's one of the things we're doing research on right now."
