      abstract = {This book examines the complex impact of prenatal stress  and the mechanism of its transmission on children's  development and well-being, including prenatal programming,  epigenetics, inflammatory processes and the brain-gut  microbiome. It analyzes current findings on prenatal  stressors affecting pregnancy, including preconception  stress, prenatal maternal depression, anxiety and pregnancy  specific anxieties. Chapters explore how prenatal stress  affects cognitive, affective, behavioral, and  neurobiological development in children while pinpointing  core processes of adaptation, resilience, and interventions  that may reduce negative behaviors and promote optimal  outcomes in children. This complex perspective on  mechanisms by which early environmental influences interact  with prenatal programming of susceptibility aims to inform  clinical strategies and future research targeting prenatal  stress and its cyclical impact on subsequent generations.  Key areas of coverage include: Epigenetic effects of  prenatal stress. Intergenerational transmission of parental  early life stress. The microbiome-gut-brain axis and the  effects of prenatal stress on early neurodevelopment.  Gestational stress and resilience. Prenatal stress and  children's sleeping behavior. Prenatal Stress and Child  Development is an essential resource for researchers,  professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians,  therapists, and related professionals in infancy and early  childhood development, maternal and child health,  developmental psychology, pediatrics, social work, child  and adolescent psychiatry, developmental neuroscience, and  related behavioral and social sciences and medical  disciplines.},
