Ways to Protect Against Stress in Pregnant Women 
1 trimester or "the kingdom of progesterone" - in the first three months of waiting 
for a child, a large amount of progesterone is produced in a woman's body. One of its 
functions is to create comfortable conditions for the attachment and development of 
the ovum. But progesterone also has an effect on the nervous system: a woman 
becomes calmer, somewhat apathetic and drowsy. She is less distracted by external 
influences, looks more "deep" of herself. 
Chronic stress during this period can lead to spontaneous miscarriage or 
abnormal development of the fetus. 
2 trimester - at this time, the placenta produces the enzyme 11β-Hydroxylase. It 
blocks the passage of maternal glucorticoids across the placenta to the fetus. Those. 
protects the unborn baby from stress hormones that are produced in the body of the 
expectant mother. 
But, unfortunately, they do not block 100%. If the experience is long-term or 
chronic, then the mother's stress hormones are transferred to the fetus. Moreover, 
negative processes will affect not only the metabolic processes of the future baby, but 
also the development of his brain. 
In the 3rd trimester, the enzyme 11β-Hydroxylase also works, which protects the 
unborn baby. In addition, at this time, the subcortical structures of the brain of the 
expectant mother are activated. A woman focuses on the internal state, and not on 
external (often stressful) factors. Her intuition starts to work well. Increased maternal 
stress levels can alter fetal brain maturation and lead to premature or low birth weight 
babies.

Stress hormone and girls 
The new study involved 108 women. Scientists assessed the level of stress in 
each of them before conception and in the first weeks of pregnancy. The participants 
underwent various psychological tests; they determined the cortisol content in their 
hair. This method allows you to estimate your stress level over the past three months. 
Pregnant women were monitored until delivery. High stress levels before 
conception were associated with a doubling of the likelihood of having a girl. In women 
who gave birth to daughters, the concentration of cortisol before conception and in the 
first weeks of pregnancy was almost twice as high as in those who gave birth to boys.
