Maternal exposure to a high-magnitude earthquake during pregnancy influences pre-reading skills in early childhood

Abstract Exposure to an adverse prenatal environment can influence fetal development and result in long-lasting changes in the offspring. However, the association between maternal exposure to stressful events during pregnancy and the achievement of pre-reading skills in the offspring is unknown. Her...
