Stress during pregnancy with Dr. Suzanne...

CINDY HOVINGTON, PH.D.
About this episode

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Suzanne King, a scientific researcher from McGill University in Montreal. We discussed stress during pregnancy. Given the pandemic, many expecting moms might be going through lots of stress. Although it might be worrisome to think of what this stress can lead to, the take-home message of this episode is that we need to look for ways to minimize our stress and after the baby is born, we can create a stimulating environment for the baby to minimize the impact.
